Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

Chapter 87 Huizong returns to the capital

It is said that after Emperor Daojun fled to Zhenjiang, he saw that he was far away from the Jin army and had close confidants and old ministers accompanying him. For a moment, he forgot that he was the abdicated emperor and started enjoying himself in Zhenjiang.

First, he generously rewarded his old ministers who followed him to the south, and he did not follow the court rules at all, but only followed his own preferences.Therefore, for a time, the palace was like a city. Some were re-appointed, some were promoted to three official positions, and some were summoned to the capital for inspection.The excessive use of rewards is not the result of disengaged officials.

When Emperor Daojun came up with this move, all the officials in the southeast immediately moved closer to the Supreme Emperor, causing all the officials to be confused and follow the orders without knowing that there was a court.

In addition to generous rewards, Emperor Daojun also issued three famous edicts: Jie Di Jiao, Zhi Qin Wang, and Liu Liang Gang.

The content of the interception corner is: "The Huainan and Zhejiang armies and other departments sent a report to the Jingdi corner and ordered them to be intercepted and not allowed to pass, and to wait for command."Even if the government offices in the southeast are not allowed to deliver any official documents to Bianjing, if there is an emergency, the official documents must be sent to Zhenjiang for personal review by Emperor Daojun.

King Zhiqin said, "The generals of Hangzhou and Yue, the generals of Jiangdong Road, and the generals of the various states, as well as soldiers, archers, etc., have not been able to unite and set out. They are waiting for the command and have to report to the military tent first." The messenger sent out the number of people and intercepted the instruments." That is to say, all places in the southeast can only strictly guard their posts and are not allowed to go to Bianjing King Qin.At the same time, all the troops of King Qin who passed by Zhenjiang were detained and used as forbidden troops.

The purpose of keeping grain is to "transport it to where it is and unload it", which means that all places in the southeast are ordered not to transport grain, grass and military supplies to Bianjing.

When these three teams issued the edict, the whole court was in an uproar. Emperor Daojun and Emperor Qinzong issued two decrees in parallel, so the supervisors did not know what to follow. The prefectures and counties waited to see what the decree was, which made Emperor Qinzong's decree in vain in the southeast region, and it was difficult to make political orders. Pass.

In addition, Emperor Daojun, who felt that he was far away from the Jin people and had no worries, finally began to enjoy his leisurely life in Zhenjiang. On the one hand, he carried out extensive construction projects, repaired palaces, transplanted flowers and bamboos, and purchased gardens.On the other hand, he picked up the flowers and stones that he had expressly forbidden, and ordered his trusted officials to continue collecting exotic flowers and stones and send them to his palace in Zhenjiang.

The various actions of Emperor Daojun undoubtedly touched Emperor Qinzong's disobedience. Since ancient times, the emperor's authority has never allowed others to challenge him. The result of the Supreme Emperor's interference in politics was often the failure of government orders and chaos in the world.When the Jin people besieged Bianjing City, Emperor Qinzong was worried about his own safety and had no time to take care of it. However, when the Jin people returned to the north, it was time to deal with him, the Supreme Emperor who had escaped from the battle but was unwilling to be mediocre.

Moreover, rumors that the Supreme Emperor intended to restore Zhenjiang were spreading widely at this time, which also made Emperor Qinzong sleepless and uneasy. He wanted Nie Shan to set up shipping envoys for Jiang, Huai, Jing, Zhejiang and other roads to go to the southeast and get rid of Tong Guan and other treacherous ministers. , welcome back the Supreme Emperor.But he was persuaded by Li Gang.So he changed the imperial edict and demoted Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Cai You and others, and sent Song Huan as an envoy to Zhenjiang to persuade Daojun and the emperor to return to the court.

At this time, Emperor Daojun saw that the capital was stable and felt that although Zhenjiang was good, it was not as prosperous as the capital, so he also wanted to return to the capital.So under the pretext of going to Bozhou to fulfill his vow, he led everyone to the capital.

After fulfilling his vow in Bozhou, Emperor Daojun came to Yingtian Mansion and gave Song Huan a handwritten edict, ordering him to return to Beijing first and hand it over to Qinzong.The letter greatly praised Emperor Qinzong and praised him as a rare filial son in an imperial family. He also stated that he had no other intention but to enjoy wealth and honor in peace. Emperor Qinzong made all the decisions in the affairs of the court.

After receiving the edict, Emperor Qinzong ordered Li Gang to be his envoy to welcome Emperor Daojun back to the court.

Li Gang came to Yingtian Mansion and met Emperor Daojun. He admired Emperor Qinzong for his sage and filial piety, and wanted to tell him that the world would support the old emperor. He also asked the Supreme Emperor to return to the capital as soon as possible.

Li Gang spoke so emotionally that Emperor Daojun burst into tears after hearing this, and asked again: "Why did you leave your post?"

Li Gang replied: "I was originally appointed as Zuo Shi. I was convicted of arrogant remarks about floods. I was favored by Your Majesty and was punished with a broad ax and ax. However, what I said at that time was that the changes in the heaven and the earth were related to each other. This is what today's Jin Dynasty is all about." The foreshadowing of the army's attack on Biandu. Disasters and changes are like a person's body. Diseases are in the five internal organs, which are manifested in the complexion and manifested in the pulse. A good doctor can understand it. Therefore, the sage observes changes in heaven and earth, and cultivates them in himself. Therefore, we can control and protect the country without worrying about danger and chaos."

After hearing this, Huizong nodded and praised, and then asked about the order of siege and defense of the capital, and Li Gang responded truthfully.After Li Gang finished speaking, Emperor Daojun asked: "The enemy has retreated and the army is at the river. Why not invite an attack?"

Li Gang replied: "King Su is in the enemy camp, so he dare not attack."

Taojun sighed and said: "For the long-term plan of the clan, why should we care about King Su!" He also asked about the exchange of documents between himself and Bianjing at the palace in Zhenjiang.

Li Gang replied: "At that time, I was afraid that the Jin people knew where the Supreme Emperor's palace was and sent troops to attack. They had no other intention. Moreover, the war was fierce and the two palaces were isolated. How could the imperial court not meet the needs of the palace? The new emperor is benevolent and filial, I'm afraid If there is something that is not in line with the Emperor's will, every time the Supreme Emperor questions the edict, he will often be worried and afraid. The ministers will steal the example, the parents will come out and the bandits will come, and the children who are responsible for the family affairs have to deal with it appropriately. The elders should be treated as such. He was comforted by the fact that he could protect the countryside. If he was too demanding about details, how could his disciples be exempted from liability! At the beginning of the emperor's succession, when a powerful enemy invaded, he had to make small changes. Your Majesty's return to Luan is a great way to comfort the emperor. It is an act of filial piety, so it is okay not to ask about the subtleties.”

After hearing this, Emperor Daojun greatly praised Li Gang and gave him jade belts, goldfish and other gifts. He ordered him to return the imperial orders and return to the capital soon.

Li Gang returned to Beijing to deliver his order in front of Emperor Qinzong, but the ministers had disagreements over how to welcome Emperor Daojun back to Beijing.

Geng Nanzhong suggested: "The servants on the left and right of Junping Daojun will go out to the palace. Anyone who dares to enter will be killed. Send people to search first, and then drive in to see you."

Li Gang firmly opposed this suggestion and said: "The principles of the world are nothing more than sincerity and doubt, light and darkness. If you push it openly with sincerity, you can reach Yao and Shun; if you push it secretly with doubt, you will suffer from indescribable diseases. . Geng Nanzhong did not assist His Majesty in the ways of Yao and Shun, but was secretly and suspicious."

The two of them had a verbal battle in front of Qinzong, but Emperor Qinzong always looked at it with a smile.Although he also had doubts about Emperor Daojun, he also felt that Geng Nanzhong's suggestion was somewhat inappropriate.When the two sides were arguing, Prime Minister Xu Churen said: "Your Majesty is benevolent and filial, and you should be congratulated in the suburbs. What does it mean to be a city guard?" So Emperor Qinzong followed the trend and agreed with Xu Churen's idea.

Finally, Emperor Daojun was welcomed into Yichun Garden, and the Queen Mother moved into Ningde Palace.Emperor Qinzong paid homage to Emperor Daojun at Longde Palace.From then on, the Supreme Emperor fled for three months before returning to Kyoto.Just when everyone thought that the two fathers and sons were filial and happy, Emperor Qinzong issued an edict to banish Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Zhu Meng and others one by one, including the trusted eunuchs. He was demoted in parallel and was not allowed to enter.

At this point, Emperor Qinzong completed the purge of the ministers around the Queen Mother, and then placed Emperor Daojun under house arrest in the palace, ordering people to report his food and daily life every day, and tell the truth about who he saw and what he said.He also made a detailed inventory of the things used in the Taishang's palace. Some people were given gifts by the Taojun Emperor and had to turn them in as soon as they left the palace.

Faced with his son's actions, Emperor Daojun also wanted to escape. He once warned that the Jin people would invade Kyoto again, and asked Emperor Qinzong to allow him to go to Xijing to manage the army, but Emperor Qinzong refused.He also proposed to go on tour with Emperor Qinzong, but was rejected, so he had no choice but to stay in the palace.

When Emperor Daojun and Emperor Qinzong, father and son, were fighting for imperial power, another problem arose in Taiyuan Mansion.
