One Piece of Song Dynasty

Zuo Qigong raised his hand and said, "Old minister is here."

The black-faced man jumped off his horse and came over to Zuo Qigong and said, "You are Zuo Qigong. I'm sorry. Today, under the orders of Zhang Liushou, Zuo Qigong, Cao Yongyi, Yu Zhongwen and Kang Gongbi were executed on the spot. "

Zuo Qigong was shocked and said: "What crime do we have?"

At this time, a man who looked like a councilor came over and said to the four of them: "Now, I announce to you that you have committed ten major crimes: 1. You knew that Emperor Tianzuo was wandering away from Jiashan, but you did not go to welcome him. 2. You persuaded the emperor's uncle, King Yan, to ascend the throne and arrogate the throne. 3. You were so rebellious that you conferred the title of King of Xiangyin on Emperor Tianzuo. 4. Emperor Tianzuo once sent an envoy to Yanjing to contact you, but you actually killed the envoy. 5. You actually The above table shows that the Kingdom of Jin requested to establish King Yelu Ding of Qin as emperor instead of restoring Emperor Tianzuo to the throne. 6. You do not seek to defend Yanjing but open the city to surrender. 7. You are willing to surrender to the Jin people regardless of righteousness. 8. You plunder The money and silk in Yanjing please the Jin people. 9. What you did caused the people of Yanshan to migrate and lose their jobs. 10. You instigated the Jin army to attack Pingzhou. Every one of these ten charges is true, and any one of them can be executed."

After hearing this, Zuo Qigong was silent and walked toward the woods alone, with a group of soldiers following him. Zuo Qigong stopped under a thick chestnut tree and said to the soldiers behind him: "This place is very good. You can finish me here."

Kang Gongbi glanced at Zuo Qigong's old back and said to Zhang Qian: "I want to see Zhang Jue. It was I who stopped the Jin army from attacking Pingzhou. Zhang Jue knew this and I saved his life."

Zhang Qian smiled and said: "Have you used up all the five hundred taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver? When I left Pingzhou, Zhang Liushou once said to me, if Kang Gongbi wants to see me, you should ask like this He, I didn't expect that you actually asked to see him." Kang Gongbi lowered his head and said nothing.

The four traitors of the Liao Kingdom, Zuo Qigong, Cao Yongyi, Yu Zhongwen, and Kang Gongbi, were hanged in a chestnut tree forest on the bank of the Luan River.

Later, Zhang Jue sent people to post announcements along the road: All Yan people no longer need to go to the Kingdom of Jin, and they can all go home to live and work in peace and contentment. After hearing the news, the people of Yan rushed to tell each other, and they were very happy and returned to their hometowns one after another.

Zhang Jueren painted a portrait of Emperor Tian Zuo and hung it in the lobby, where he paid homage to him every day.

Zhang Jue's betrayal of the Jin Dynasty and restoration of the Liao Dynasty was quickly controlled by Song Huizong. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty began his own road to death. He immediately issued an imperial letter to Zhan Du: "The Kingdom of Jin sent people from Yanshan to Pingzhou. They returned to Yun that day. Zhang Jue led the troops and rode on five thousand wall pine pavilions to copy them. The chariots did not dare to move forward. When they heard that Pingzhou was no longer called the old mansion and used the title of Baoda, they had already killed the Prime Minister Cao Yongyi and four other people, claiming that they would not obey the Southern Dynasty and would not return to the Jurchens. On April , Noh Send troops to seize the iron plate of Qingyan Courtyard in Qinghua County. Looking at this, it is clear that it is not Jurchen, and the money is attached to the intention of this dynasty, and the cover is not seen. If it is not restrained, it will definitely be a border trouble. Although not The contract can be made expressly, and it is necessary to add an edict in advance, but it can be based on other people's wishes, but it cannot be leaked. Juefang contacted Han Qingmin and others to lure and move to Kuo and other states to resist the Jin Kingdom. The success or failure is unknown, and it is my plan. , Just use Bianzhuang's strategy of stabbing the tiger, sit back and watch what happens, and think about it later. If you are happy with your merits and advancement, if you only care about it for now, you will lose Jurchen lightly, so you should take a closer look."

Song Huizong's imperial writing contains at least the following meanings: . Zhang Jue's betrayal of the Jin Dynasty has been obvious; . Zhang Jue still uses the Liao Dynasty title and has not shown his attachment to the Song Dynasty; . Zhang Jue is contacting Han Qingmin and others People fight against the Jin together; . To prevent Zhang Jue from becoming a border threat, you can contact him secretly to comfort him, but you must keep it secret and don't let the Jin know about it; . Use Bianzhuang's strategy of stabbing the tiger and wait and see what happens; . Don’t fall out with the Jin people because of Zhang Jue.

Zhan Du then sent someone to find Zhang Jue's in-law Wang Yi, and asked Wang Yi to go to Pingzhou to send a message to Zhang Jue to show his friendship.

Zhang Jue responded quickly and sent Zhang Xingyou to Yanjing to contact Zhan Du and find out the true intentions of the Song Dynasty. At this time, Zhan Du received another imperial note from Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty: "Ying and Ping accepted the payment. Although it was before the Jurchens entered the customs, the court repeatedly discussed it, and the Jurchens finally did not see it. Zhang Juegu also tried to convince the Jin Kingdom, and used The title of his reign was also changed to Nanjing. At the beginning of this dynasty, we had good relations with the Jin Kingdom and all signed oaths. How could it be contrary to the fact that the Jin Kingdom was in Yanjing yesterday, so they could not attack Pingzhou immediately. It happened that the Jurchens were in Guanzhong, but they felt that they were occupying Yu. Pass, and I have suppressed the territory with heavy troops, and the old chief is still there, so I tolerate it. Now that the Jurchens have come out of the pass, if they attack Pingzhou from Xingzhongfu or west of Tokyo in the future, I will be afraid that there will be only a few states. It's not easy to do it. Moreover, my teacher has been lifted from martial law, and the old chieftain is still in such a mess. Jurchen returns to the teacher in the late autumn. It is the right time to succeed. How can I make a mistake and make a plan for the present? It is time to sit back and watch what happens. I thought it was a later plan. But when I heard that I wanted to communicate with Han Qingmin, connect the four armies, and try to spy on the Yan Dynasty, I had to worry about it. It is necessary to express the restraints quickly. You can carefully select the second or third generation of talented, intelligent, loyal and trustworthy people, and make secret edicts. , promised to be hereditary."

Zhan Du then revealed the relevant contents of the imperial pen to Zhang Xingyou and asked him to go back and tell Zhang Jue. Before Zhang Xingyou left, Song Huizong sent another imperial writing: "I heard that Lin Ya and Zhang Jue of the Fourth Army gathered in the north of Juyongguan, Heping, Luanzhou, and Zhongjing to stop the Jin Kingdom's carriages and even return the Jin Kingdom's moved The population of Yanjing, and those who intend to cause trouble to our territory, must be drawn up as a plan for dealing with the aftermath."

Jandu immediately held a meeting to discuss. Participants believed that it was unlikely to win over Xiao Qian to surrender, because he had once been my enemy. If we wanted him to completely change and join our government, he would be afraid of disaster and have many concerns. Zhang Jue, on the other hand, had wanted to join him for a long time, but he just felt that the treatment given to him was not as good as that of Guo Yaoshi and did not meet his wishes, so he postponed it until now and has not made his position clear.

Zhandu quickly reported the discussion opinions to the court. Soon, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty ordered Zhan Du to secretly send people to lure Zhang Jue with high-ranking officials and generous salaries to bring the territory and people of Ping, Luan, and Ying states to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

At this time, most of the Yan people returned to Yanjing one after another. Song Huizong then issued an edict to Wang Anzhong and Zhan Du, ordering them to carefully care for and inspect the scholar-bureaucrats in Yanjing, select available talents from them, and pay traveling expenses to those who originally had official positions, so that they could go to the capital to go to the palace, and they could be sent to the palace in exchange for assignments. At the same time, in order to allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, regular taxes are exempted for three years.

Zhang Jue was overjoyed when he heard about these policies of the Song Dynasty, and decided to surrender the three states of Ping, Ying, and Luan to the Song Dynasty. He sent Li Shi and Gao Lu to Yanjing to have formal contact with Wang Anzhong.

Li Shi changed his name to Li Anbi, and Gao Lu, who had served as the third envoy of the Liao Kingdom, changed his name to Gao Dang. Both of them were from Yanjing and had been captured by the Jin people. They were later released because of Zhang Jue's help, so they treated Zhang Jue Very grateful. They knew that Zhang Jue's rebellion against the Jin army would definitely lead to an attack by the Jin army, and the Jin people would not let them go. If the Song Dynasty accepted them, then if the Jin people came to ask for them, the Song Dynasty would definitely not hand them over to the Jin people. Unfortunately, they looked up to Song Huizong too highly.
