One Piece of Song Dynasty

In the city of Tokyo, the civil and military officials were not clear about Zhang Bangchang's plans, and were not satisfied with Zhang Bangchang's recent performance. People were talking privately, and even doubted whether Zhang Bangchang intended to rely on the Jin people to occupy the Central Plains.

On the eighth day of April, Ma Shen, the supervisory censor, wrote a letter to Zhang Bangchang with strong words. The letter said: "Fu Jing rebelled against Hu and disobeyed the rule, robbed the two emperors and went north, and appointed the Grand Prime Minister to take charge of state affairs. So the Prime Minister He who endures death to honor his throne is confident that he will be able to restore the throne if the captives retreat. Those who are loyal ministers and righteous men will die immediately if they do not sacrifice their lives, and those who do not immediately change the people in the city will also believe that they will be able to establish Zhao Gu.

Now that the captives have retreated for many days, the whereabouts of my lord's son are known, and all the songs and songs from the prison lawsuit have returned. Your husband is still in confinement, and has not returned to his first submission, and has not returned to the list of ministers. There were rumors on the road that the Xianggong had used the power of the strong captives to lobby King Kang, and ordered him to flee south, and then occupy the Central Plains, in order to avoid returning for a long time.

I know that my husband has no wrong intentions, but he is still a captive and cannot change his ways. Even so, it's a big inconvenience. When the people's hearts are not yet at peace, once there is a commotion, even though they have the ambition to be loyal and righteous, they will not be able to understand themselves. All the living beings in the city were met with misfortune, and they failed to live up to our original intention. Fuwang Xianggong quickly made corrections, Yifu returned to the province, and the common affairs were reported to the Queen Mother before proceeding. He still hurriedly welcomed King Kang back to the capital, opened the door at sunset, and cared for the teachers of the diligent king in all directions, to show that there was no separation, and to respond to the internal and external pardon letters to show kindness. To collect people's hearts and other matters, the authority should be detained, and the Zhao family will be appointed and then implemented. The concubines cleared up doubts at home and abroad, turned misfortunes into blessings, Yi Zhou was reborn, and nothing could be done again.

If he says otherwise, he will be killed first. If Shen is dead, he will not dare to assist the Prime Minister, and he will be a traitor to the Song Dynasty."

Zhang Bangchang didn't see this letter until late in the evening. He was so shocked that he almost didn't sleep all night. He understood that he must hand over power as soon as possible. But he was worried that the Jin army would come back after hearing the news and besiege the city again.

Early the next morning, Zhang Bangchang sent someone secretly to the north to inquire about the whereabouts of the Jin army. At noon, the spies came back and reported that the Jin army had already crossed the Yellow River and showed no sign of returning. Zhang Bangchang was relieved at this moment, so he urgently called a meeting with his attendants to discuss how to return power to the Zhao family.

The Xie Ke family advocated sending people to Jeju to welcome King Kang. He said: "King Kang is the one who stands today. You should send envoys to Jeju to express your intention to welcome King Kang. If you do, you will be a hero, otherwise you will be a traitor. To be a hero is to be a traitor. , just do this, how can we be less slow?"

Zhang Bangchang explained: "It's not because of the delay, but because the Jin soldiers have just retreated. If we send envoys forward, wouldn't it be harmful if the Jin soldiers learn of their whereabouts?"

Lu Haowen suggested: "We can return the government to Queen Yuanyou first, and ask Queen Yuanyou to listen behind the curtain. If Queen Yuanyou listens to the government, everyone will know that the Zhao family has been restored."

Zhang Bangchang finally decided to adopt Lu Haowen's suggestion. In the evening, he publicly announced in handwriting: "I respectfully request Queen Yuanyou to listen behind the curtain to await the restoration."

The handwriting quickly spread throughout the capital, and people inside and outside the court were delighted, and people could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then, Zhang Bangchang ordered the recovery of the pardon documents sent to all roads across the country, and destroyed and discarded the handwritten letter he had appointed as the Queen Mother of the Song Dynasty.

Because many ministers had objections to Zhang Bangchang's handwriting of Queen Yuanyou as the Queen Mother of the Song Dynasty. They thought that Zhang Bangchang was imitating Song Taizu. That year, after Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin launched a military coup, he honored the Queen Mother Zhou Fu as the Queen Mother Zhou and welcomed her to live in the West Palace. Zhang Bangchang's handwriting reflects that he still has the ambition to stand on his own feet for the Song Dynasty.

On April th, Zhang Bangchang sent the Xie Ke family to escort Huang Yuxi to Jeju. This jade seal is very special. It has six words in seal script "The Treasure of the Song Dynasty" engraved on it. It was specially made after Taizu of the Song Dynasty ascended the throne. The Jin people once asked for this treasure of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, but Zhang Bangchang lied to them that the seal had been buried with him, so it was preserved.

Under the leadership of Geng Nanzhong, Wang Boyan and other members of the Generalissimo's office, the Xie Ke family held the seal in their hands and marched on their knees to present it to King Kang. King Kang repeatedly declined with humility, "crying and refusing to accept it." However, if King Kang did not accept it, the Xie Ke family would not be able to afford it. In the end, King Kang had no choice but to kneel down and accept it, and ordered Wang Boyan to take charge temporarily.

On this day, Queen Yuanyou also sent people to Jeju. She sent her nephew, Quan Weiwei Shaoqing Meng Zhonghou, with a handwritten letter from Queen Yuanyou. Empress Yuanyou said in her handwriting: "I have lived in the Taoist Palace for thirty years, but the capital city was lost, and the two emperors moved north. Nothing happened, and there was no business. Suddenly, I accepted the imperial edict and was given the correct title. I retreated. After being deposed, at this time of danger, I pretended to be favored. I sincerely tried again and again, but I didn't listen to the promise. I went to Yanfu Palace on the fifth day of this month, and built hundreds of houses, asking for the power to listen to the government.

Gu is prematurely old and sick, and has been away from the palace for a long time. How can he be able to talk about the important events of the court and remember the death of the Zhao family. People think deeply about the virtues of the Song Dynasty, and they are not old people. Who should take this responsibility? However, the artifact has been in vain for a long time, and it needs God. Today, among all the close relatives at home and abroad, the king is the only one. He was also loyal, brave and wise, and looked forward to all directions. He succeeded to the throne. Who but the king had sent Feng Fu and Li to inform the king of the preface. The king quickly drove his guards to live in the palace to calm the spirits of the nine temples. Overcome changes in all directions. My baby has this heavy burden, and I have entrusted it to others. It is time to give up the troubles of a few tasks and enjoy the comfort of leisure. Now I send my nephew Quan Weiwei Shaoqing Meng Zhonghou to personally receive the news and express my wishes.

It’s slightly hot at the beginning of summer, so be more careful to maintain the tone. On April th, my mother wrote to the Marshal the King. "

After King Kang finished reading, he received the Xie Ke family and Meng Zhonghou respectively as guests. Afterwards, King Kang said to Geng Yanxi and others: "Zhang Zicheng knows etiquette. If he does not know the difference and acts rashly, I will take it with my troops. The damage will be victorious. If I don't have to raise my troops, it can be taken."

Regarding the fact that the Xie Ke family came to Jeju to present the seal, some people believe that this does not prove that Zhang Bangchang has no ambition. Because Zhang Bangchang had already ascended the throne as the emperor of Chu, the treasure of Song was of little use to him, and King Kang also had doubts about it.

However, after reading Queen Yuanyou's handwriting, King Kang dispelled his doubts and was convinced that Zhang Bangchang indeed had no intention of becoming the real emperor.

Recently, there is a legend in Jeju City that every evening, when looking at Jeju City from the neighboring villages, one can see red lights all over the sky, like red birds flying in the air. The red light stays on all night until dawn. Only when the villagers entered the city did they realize that it was not the light of fire. Insightful people believe that the red light is the talisman of fire virtue in the Song Dynasty, just like the auspicious red crow that appeared when King Wu of Zhou came to the throne.

On this day, about Jeju citizens and soldiers gathered in front of the Generalissimo's Mansion and unanimously requested King Kang to ascend the throne in Jeju.

Geng Nanzhong and the shogunate staff of the Marshal's Mansion gathered in Linjiatang for an emergency meeting to discuss King Kang's accession to the throne. Some people suggested that he should ascend the throne in Jeju, while others suggested that he should ascend the throne in Nanjing. The controversy was uncertain.

It happened that Deputy Marshal Zongze came to write at this time: "It is not believed that Bangchang and other Yin are tied to the captives. Moreover, Nanjing is the place where our ancestors were entrusted. It is particularly easy to transport water to the four directions."

Most of the staff agreed with Zongze's view and said: "Nanjing is a place where ancestors of art prospered and kings were born, and where heaven and people obeyed. King Kang should be the emperor in Nanjing, and Shaolong was a martyr."
