One Piece of Song Dynasty

That night, they stayed in a ruined temple. The Jin soldiers were stationed outside the temple, forming a circle and looking like a camp. The Jin soldiers laid leather rugs in the temple for the Jin army generals such as Shi Yema to rest. Then, they set up the tent outside the temple, lit lamps and warmed the wine, and set up Ye Ye and other Jin army generals to sit around and eat and drink.

Song prisoners such as Concubine Wei, Concubine Xing, Princess Fujin, King Zhao Biao, King of Jian'an, Zhao Kai, etc. were all huddled in a dark corner in front of the temple, their whole bodies aching and shivering.

On March , Zhang Bangchang, wearing an ocher robe, holding a red umbrella, riding a white horse, and holding a red silk whip, left the city from Nanxun Gate. Zhang Bangchang did not dare to use the imperial guard of honor, and only sent a few cavalry to clear the way. The first time he left the city, he didn't even dare to use the cavalry to clear the way.

Following Zhang Bangchang out of the city were Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe, Wu Kai, Mo Chou and others. They were going to Qingcheng to say goodbye to Zong Han and Zong Wang.

As soon as they met, Zong Han was furious about Zhang Bangchang's letter asking for Sun Fu, Zhang Shuye and Qin Hui yesterday: "How can those three people want to repeat what happened the day before?"

Zong Han questioned again and again and warned sternly: "The troops sent today are not unknown. However, the troops are stationed not far away. We should observe the provocation and move."

Zhang Bangchang did not expect that Zong Han would be so angry and scold him so vehemently. He was panicked and frightened, and could not answer a word. It wasn't until a quarter of noon that Zhang Bangchang and his party left Jinying in fear.

Not long after returning to the city, Zhang Bangchang received another letter from the Marshal's Office of the Jin Army: a letter of reduction and exemption of silver and silk money with Chu.

The book says: "In the Song Dynasty, in addition to losing taels of silver and silk every year according to the old customs of the Liao Kingdom, one million guan of money was also paid. At first, it was given out by Yan, but now it is lost according to the rules. Since the land has been divided and the people are suffering, we will exempt one million taels of money and reduce the amount of taels of silver silk. Each year, we only propose to pay taels, with half of the silver and silk, and the amount will still be delivered as usual."

Reducing the amount of silver silk is of course a great thing. Zhang Bangchang was overjoyed and hurriedly wrote back to express his gratitude.

Song Qinzong and Song Huizong, who were controlled by the Jin army in the suburban palace, cried and regretted all day long. On this day, Song Qinzong received news that all captured personnel would go north by separate routes. The emperor and the second prince went north by Hebei Road, and he and the Prime Minister went north by Hedong Road, and they agreed to meet in Yanjing.

Song Qinzong wanted to go with Su Wang Zhao Shu. He felt that Su Wang was familiar with the situation of the Jin people and would be able to take care of him on the way, but Zhao Shu flatly refused. Zhao Shu said: "Last year, I was ordered to go on an envoy. I never avoided it. I haven't been at my knees for a long time. Although I survived, my family was ruined and my country was destroyed. My death was very close. Fortunately, I worshiped my parents and begged to stay with them." Zhao Shu cried bitterly as he spoke. Cry.

When Song Qinzong saw this, he had no choice but to give up in tears. Zhao Shu has the talent of photographic memory. When he was on a mission to the Jin army last year, he and minister Shen Yuanyong were placed under house arrest in Minzhong Temple in Yanjing. Bored in their free time, they wandered around the temple and came across a Tang Dynasty stele, "It was written by a couple, with more than words." Shen Yuan used Su to recite it aloud in the name of strong memorization. Zhao Shu listened and acted, seemingly casually.

After returning to his residence, Shen Yuanyong wanted to show off his intelligence to Zhao Shu, so he took some paper and silently wrote the inscription. The places that cannot be remembered are left blank. There are fourteen characters in total. After writing it, give it to Zhao Shu. After Zhao Shu read it, he immediately "took out his pen to fill in all the gaps he had left, leaving nothing behind." He also corrected four or five of Shen Yuanyong's mistakes. Then he put down his pen and changed the topic without showing off. Shen Yuanyong was "shocked".

The person most saddened by the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty should be Song Huizong. He heard that he would leave for the north tomorrow, so he led the Queen Mother and the kings to the courtyard, "looking to worship the city and saying goodbye to the ancestral temple."

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty prostrated himself on the ground, weeping bitterly, "stuffed with breath and unable to get up." King Jing Zhao Qi hurried forward and helped him up. Everyone present, young and old, burst into tears. The crying was so loud that "the sun was dim and the wind was howling like a howl." I cried for two hours before stopping.

King Jing Zhao Qi was the sixth son of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. He had been with Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty every day since arriving in the suburb palace. "If you don't take off your belt at night, you won't eat meat." He is young, but his beard and hair are all white.

That night, Song Qinzong and his prince came to say goodbye to Song Huizong. Song Qinzong cried and said, "Don't go today, for fear that we will never see each other again."

In the early morning of the first day of April, at dawn, under the arrangement of the Jin army, Song Huizong, Song Qinzong and other entourage members separated to the north. Song Huizong was taken to the north of the city and had breakfast in the East Village of Liujia Temple. Here, Song Huizong met the second prince Zong Wang for the first time.

Zong Wang asked the queen, concubines, kings and emperors to come out to meet each other, and everyone sat on the ground.

Zongwang ordered Wang Rui to serve as the translator and said to Song Huizong: "Since ancient times, there have been no sage kings more than Yao and Shun, but there are still some who are humble and virtuous. The history of the revolutions in the past dynasties can only be understood by thinking about the emperor's heart. The country's harvest is better than that of Yao and Shun. The concubines and children obtained by the Khitan are all distributed among the armies and rewarded. Since the emperor was very virtuous in the past, he now keeps all his children with him and keeps all the uniforms and official positions as before."

After that, Zong Wang picked up the wine glass and said, "Everything may be far or near, but don't worry, there will be happy times."

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty raised his glass and expressed his thanks: "We were brothers back then, but today we are prisoners. How could it be that our luck depends on the protection of the prince, and we can live a thousand lives. I have recently asked for an heir, but if I come to Que Ting, I hope it will be my opinion."

Zong Wang said: "I'm waiting for you to come."

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty said: "The two countries are allies, but I am guilty, and it is not the general or prime minister's fault. I am guilty of God, so please use your body to answer the punishment of God, and I hope you will not be as good as others."

Zong Wang nodded and said, "This is a very good idea."

After drinking the five elements, Zong Wang proposed marriage to Song Huizong, hoping to marry Emperor Xiande to Zong Han's second son as his wife, and Song Huizong agreed.

Emperor Xiande's name was Zhao Qiaoyun. She had just turned seventeen and had been married to Liu Wenyan before the Jingkang Incident. Zonghan's second son was Wanyan Xiebao, the king of Baoshan.

After dinner, Zong Wang returned to the camp and no longer saw Huizong of the Song Dynasty. However, he sent people to bring a lot of chicken, rabbit meat, wine and fruits to Song Huizong. Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty refused all the offers, on the grounds that he was "sick in the car and had no intention of eating". Song Huizong only hoped that the Emperor of Jin could pass on the imperial edict and approve his request.

Song Qinzong was placed in Zong Han's army. He wore a green felt hat and rode a mixed horse, with more than a hundred guards around him. A group of Jin men served as supervisors and followed the team. What is incredible is that there are more than ten pigs and sheep accompanying them.

The long queue went north from Zhengmen in the capital. Every time he passed a corner of the city, Song Qinzong covered his face and cried. King Yan and King Yue each received an ox cart, and the rest of the clan traveled on foot. For those who walk slowly, the golden soldiers keep driving them behind to make them walk faster.

After Song Qinzong and the prince and others withdrew with Zong Han here, Zong Wang, who was escorting Song Huizong, Empress Zheng and the princes, also began to retreat northward.

When the Jin people left, they burned all the military barracks outside Tokyo. The flames soared into the sky and "red flames spread across the sky." Zong Wang led the Eastern Route Army to cross the Yellow River via Huazhou and head north to Yanjing. Zong Han led the Western Route Army westward to Zhengzhou, then turned north, and his destination was also Yanjing.
