Chapter 75 The king and his ministers fled together

In the first year of Jingkang, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty had no choice but to sit on the dragon throne. With the help of a group of ministers, he seemed to have some confidence, so he decided to lead the expedition himself.As a result, before setting off, news was received that Wanyan Zongwang's army had crossed the Yellow River and was heading straight for Bianjing.The little confidence that Emperor Qinzong had just established suddenly flew out of the sky. At the same time, his father, Emperor Daojun, said that he was going to Bozhou to offer incense.

This obvious intention to flee made Emperor Qinzong extremely dissatisfied. He thought that his old father had pushed the throne to him, and then he secretly wanted to flee, but he was helpless.Because even though he was already the emperor of the Song Dynasty, all the people in the dynasty were Huizong's old ministers. If he had to stop him, it would not look good.Moreover, Tong Guan returned from Taiyuan not long ago, which means that Nianhan's army has already arrived at Taiyuan City. He is afraid that the isolated city will be difficult to defend and will soon cross Tongguan to join Wanyan Zongwang's army to jointly attack Bianjing.At this time, Emperor Daojun wants to escape, can't he?Thinking of this, Emperor Qinzong quickly summoned his ministers to inform him about Emperor Bozhou's incense pilgrimage, while discussing strategies to resist the Jin army.

After some discussions among the civil and military ministers, Emperor Qinzong finally announced that Tong Guan, the prince of Guanghe County, would stay in Tokyo and take charge of the military and political power. .

Then he sent an edict: I respectfully serve the Emperor Dao, and sincerely feel sorry for his illness. I pray to Taiqing for a recovery on his birthday. Fang Yan is in the Lin Pavilion, and there are tens of thousands of them. I can express my gratitude.Today, I will choose a day before the Zhengyuan Festival to burn incense at the Taiqing Palace in Bozhou. I only follow the wise instructions and dare not to obey his orders. I have the early ring equipment and the [-] million yuan for the Dunchu. My mother may be ungrateful.

And when Tong Guan below heard these decisions, he had already begun to curse in his heart. He was just trying to stay in Bianjing as cannon fodder. Anyone with enough brains could see clearly what the little emperor was thinking. , such an arrangement is nothing more than preparation for his flight with Emperor Daojun.But at this time, the edict had been issued and it was difficult to change it, so Tong Guan began to make his own little calculations in his heart.

At this time, Emperor Daojun had already made preparations to flee south. After receiving the news that the Jin soldiers had crossed the Yellow River, he immediately got up, took his favorite minister Cai You and his concubines and servants, and took a boat from Tongjin Gate. Southbound.The boat was moving slowly along the way, and Emperor Daojun was impatient, so he stopped the boat and docked, and ordered the state government to send a driver on the way.As a result, not long after the car drove away, he felt that the car and horse were too slow, so he ordered someone to stop the speed boat transporting bricks and tiles on the shore, and fled on the speed boat.

Although Emperor Daojun nominally wanted to go to Bozhou to offer incense, he had no intention of going to Bozhou at all. Instead, he planned to go straight to Zhenjiang and go to his old base.Along the way, he looked at the distant Bianjing City and was filled with emotions. When he was just King Xiao Duan, he was named Zhenjiang Jiedushi by Emperor Zhezong. Now that he was visiting his hometown again, he didn't want to be in such a mess, and he didn't know what he was doing. After escaping, whether Bianjing City can be defended and whether there is still a chance to return to the old capital.

Just as he was thinking about it, Emperor Daojun suddenly felt hungry, so he asked the chamberlain: "Have you brought any dry food?" The chamberlain on the side looked troubled and said cautiously: "I was traveling in a hurry and I didn't bring any dry food. This little guy Let's go find some food for the Emperor." So the chamberlain went to the bow of the ship to look for the boatman and asked if there was any dry food here.The boatman rummaged for a long time and said: "When we were recruiting the ship just now, we placed the villain and other objects on the shore together with bricks and tiles, leaving only a piece of cooking cake in his arms."

The servant didn't care about anything. He reached out and grabbed the piece of cooking cake and brought it to Emperor Daojun.

Emperor Daojun took the cake and ate it regardless of its coldness.The cakes were made from coarse grains and were difficult to swallow. After a few bites, I choked, so I quickly brought water.When he looked up, he saw several concubines around him looking at him eagerly. He kept swallowing his saliva. He couldn't bear it, but he separated the cooked cakes and shared them with the other concubines.

While eating the cold cooking cakes, Emperor Daojun burst into tears.Ever since he became King Duan, his brother Emperor Zhezong has been very caring to him. He has been a happy prince for several years, and he only writes and paints every day, plays football and teases birds. He is very happy.I originally thought I could live a happy life, but I didn't expect that my brother died of illness and I was pushed to the throne in a daze. It has been 26 years now.During most of these 26 years, he was as carefree as when he was King Duan. However, in recent years, wars broke out all over the place, which disturbed him. Therefore, he often reflected on himself, had he really done something wrong?I just want to be a happy emperor, so what's wrong with that?I am not stingy with the ministers in the court, and will reward them lavishly on the slightest excuse. If I treat them with such care, don't they want to share the king's worries?Then there are the Jin people. Why can't they live in peace with the originally good alliance? I have to give them a lot of money from my pocket every year, but I still want to go south and invade the Song Dynasty. Why are I so greedy?

In this way, Emperor Daojun thought a lot along the way, but he still couldn't figure out where the problem was, so he just blamed everyone in his heart.

They were silent all the way, and before they knew it, they had arrived in Huaiyang. Just as Emperor Daojun was leading his car to the Yangtze River ferry and wanted to continue south, he suddenly heard loud noises in front of the team. He thought that bandits were coming, so he hurriedly poked his head out of the car. Come out and watch.

In front of the team, a large number of people knelt down, blocked the carriage, and cried out in unison: "Now the Jin soldiers are going south, looting everywhere, and the people are trapped in fire and water. I hope that the Supreme Emperor will take the country into consideration, worry about the suffering of the people, and return to the capital." Let the army and the people work together to fight against the Jin people."

When Emperor Daojun heard this, he was filled with anger and thought: "At such a critical time, these unscrupulous people do not want to protect the king's safety, but want him to enter a dangerous place. Their intentions are to be punished." So he ordered the people around him not to worry about it. , just ride your horse forward.Everyone obeyed the order and ignored the people on the ground. They drove horses and cars past. Those who could not escape were trampled down and injured dozens of people. Seeing that the holy will was decided, all the people could only kneel down on the roadside and watch the Dao Lord and Emperor drive away. go.

Shortly after Emperor Daojun fled, Tong Guan, who was left behind in Tokyo, got the news. While he cursed Emperor Daojun in his heart for being unjust, he even secretly escaped secretly. At the same time, he quickly ordered his family members to pack their bags and went to the school grounds in person to light three Thousands of victorious troops escorted his family to pursue Emperor Daojun.

Hearing that Tong Guan had fled, the civil and military ministers in the court were also moved. So in the past few days, several important ministers also fled to Zhenjiang with their families, including Taiwei Gao Qiu, traitorous Prime Minister Cai Jing, Shangshu Youcheng Yu Wencui, Zhongdaojun and Emperor. Old minister.In particular, Taiwei Gao Qiu took with him three thousand imperial guards before leaving, euphemistically calling them: "To protect the Emperor's southern patrol."

In this way, the great rout of the monarchs and ministers in the first month of the first year of Jingkang was staged amidst the commotion. The flight of Emperor Daojun severely damaged the morale of the entire army and people in Bianjing, making everyone in the court panic.However, this escape took away all the traitors in the court and laid the foundation for the victory of the first Tokyo defense battle.Therefore, it is said that misfortunes and blessings depend on each other, and the ancients will not deceive me.
