One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 280 Tan Zhen Resigned

After reading the letter, Zhao Yun said: "Okay, I understand. I will go to Commander Liang to discuss the matter tonight."

Not long after Zhao Yun received the letter, Niu San sent a message asking Zhao Yun to go to Liang Mansion to discuss important matters at night.

In the evening, Zhao Yun came to Liang Mansion on time. When he saw Liang Xing, Zhao Yun said: "Brother Liang, you know everything."

Liang Xing replied: "Well, Mr. Fan Wang sent a message to X, but this action of the Jin Army was only to frighten the court and was revenge for the Zhang Jue incident."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Well, a certain person said the same thing, but a certain person asked a certain person what they should do if the Jin Army attacks the Song Dynasty again in the future. After all, they are now nominally the Jin Army."

Liang Xing said thoughtfully: "This matter really needs to be considered. Let's write a letter to your Excellency and ask for his opinion."

Zhao Yun said: "Okay, let's do it."

A few days later, Li Xin received a secret letter from Liang Xing and Zhao Yun. Liang Hongyu translated it and said: "Official, there is news from Liang Xing that the Jin people took action against the imperial court, but they only stopped after they captured a few cities to frighten the imperial court. "

After reading the letter, Li Xin said: "This is just a precursor. The Jin army will definitely attack the Song Dynasty in the future. However, Emperor Tianzuo has not caught him yet, so the Jin people will not completely break up with each other for the time being."

Liang Hongyu asked: "What will happen to our people in the Jin Army in the future?"

Li Xin thought for a while and said: "You can follow the Jin army to attack the Song Dynasty. If you passively avoid the battle, it will only make people doubt their identity. However, you can only attack the Song army. You cannot burn, kill and loot the people, but you can pretend to be pretentious." Catch the people in their territory and protect them, or catch the people and then secretly and deliberately let some of them go. In short, you must not do anything that harms the people. That's what I replied to Liang Xing and others."

Liang Hongyu sighed: "This is the only way we can do it first."

When the Jin army captured several cities, Tan Zhen was sitting in Taiyuan. He lacked a clear understanding of the Jin army's movements and sat back and watched the Jin army attack cities and plunder villages without doing anything. All he knew was that he was busy collecting rare treasures, gold, silver, pearls and jade to line his own pockets. At that time, many people believed that he would "fail to achieve anything in the long run, be cowardly and retreat, and especially tarnish China's mighty spirit." When Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty heard the news, he was "sad and unhappy".

The actions of Zong Han and Zong Wang clearly showed that they refused to hand over Shanhou. Soon, Zongwang sent someone to send Tan Zhen a written ultimatum, accusing Tan Zhen of three main points: . Recruiting the traitor Zhang Jue; . Taking in the fleeing people and officials from the original Liao Dynasty; . , refused to pay the promised hu of army rations.

The Jin people's dissatisfaction with Tan Zhen was their dissatisfaction with the Song Dynasty. This dissatisfaction seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and the relationship between Song and Jin suddenly became tense.

At this time, Tong Guan and Cai You could not sit still. They took the opportunity to enter the palace to make a speech and suggested that Tan Zhen be dismissed. Song Huizong and his ministers actually knew very well who was responsible for the three things the Jin people accused. Song Huizong thought about it and felt that he had no other choice but to let Tan Zhen be the scapegoat, so he dismissed Tan Zhen from his posts as Taiwei and Xuanfu envoy, and demoted him to the position of deputy governor of Shunchang Army on the grounds that Tan Zhen was "incompetent". make. Song Huizong put all the responsibility on Tan Zhen, hoping to eliminate the Jin people's resentment towards the Song Dynasty.

Then, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty re-appointed Tong Guan and asked him to return to the Privy Council and continue to serve as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei, Hedong and Yanshan Prefecture, and Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, was appointed as the deputy Xuanfu envoy.

Song Huizong ordered Tong Guan to set off immediately for Taiyuan, quickly find ways to ease the tension with the Jin Kingdom, and continue to work hard to deliver the land in the Yunzhong area. At the same time, Song Huizong also gave Tong Guan a secret mission that no outsider knew, which was to find opportunities to welcome Emperor Tianzuo to the Song Dynasty.

In August of the sixth year of Xuanhe, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty issued an edict to grant amnesty to the world on the grounds of recovering the lost territory of Yanyun. The edict said: Those who prohibit violence use non-killing as a force, and benevolent and righteous as a teacher; the people of the region regard fraternity as a public service. It also displays power and virtue. I Shao inherited Pi Xu, ruled the common people, established a kingdom, and showed the emperor's order of generals; I defeated the former martyrs and revived the plans of Yan Yi. I am thinking of Yanyun, who has been a barbarian for a long time. His former family is famous, and the chiefs of the four tribes are scattered. The vast valleys and rivers prevent the Jiuji family. He moved to his lair and stole the seal. Fang Yi Zu Zhao Zhao, Ji Shi Zhen Shi, the people's concerns caught him, and the gods tested his heirs. Deeply looking at the ancient times, if you want to succeed for generations, you must take advantage of the times.

He is so stupid and ugly that he always betrays the world alliance, causing internal strife and anger among gods and men. However, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the great unification of kings brought great blessings to the country. However, it is still unknown that there are saints in China. They raised Su Zhiwang, organized our troops and troops, penetrated the land and strengthened it. The cold laws gathered power, and saw the help of heaven's heart. The pot of pulp is carried Tao, knowing what people want and being happy to follow it. Before reading another issue, I learned that there are two flat roads, with winding hills and mountains, the east is beyond the seal of Jieshi, the pavilion is blocking Qian Xiang, and the west is blocking the Yuxi River. He divided the states and painted fields, promoted education and benefited the people, saved a hundred years of ruins, and entered the longevity domain; he restored the old clothes of the Five Governments and regained his splendor. The clearness of a new image changes the mood of the people.

From now on, the tranquility of Yi and Xia will always be preserved, and everything will be in spring, and the lakes will be even and far away, and the world can be forgiven. In the play, the weak and the ignorant are combined, and the land is opened to reveal the chapter; the government is benevolent, and the corner of the sea is conquered. I know that you have many people, and I am pregnant with you.

Song Huizong suddenly issued such an edict. What was its purpose? It was obvious that he was targeted. He should be targeting the suddenly tense situation in the Song and Jin Dynasties at that time. In other words, Song Huizong wanted to use this to convey political information to the Jin Kingdom. Through this edict, Song Huizong conveyed at least the following information: First, the Song Dynasty's recovery of the Yanyun area was just to complete a historical mission; second, in addition to recovering the Yanyun area, the Song Dynasty had no control over other areas. No interest; thirdly, the Song Dynasty hoped to maintain peaceful and friendly relations with neighboring countries from now on.

Song Huizong's political intentions did not seem to have any reaction in the Jin Kingdom, and no response was found. Perhaps because everyone in the Jin Kingdom was very busy at that time, no one noticed Song Huizong's edict. Or maybe someone saw it, but had no interest in interpreting it in depth, because at this time the Jin people already distrusted Song Huizong. Sadly, Song Huizong didn't know this.

After Tan Zhen was dismissed, Wang Fu felt increasing pressure as Tan Zhen's recommender and political backer. Although he was still a tutor in name and a third-highest official, in fact Song Huizong had become increasingly cold towards him and would not allow him to intervene in many things, which made him feel uneasy every day. Immediately afterwards, Song Huizong began to adjust the high-level personnel of the imperial court.

In September of the sixth year of Xuanhe, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty promoted Bai Shizhong to serve as special prime minister, grand prime minister and servant Liang, the right prime minister, and promoted Li Bangyan to the position of young prime minister and minister of Zhongshu, the left prime minister. Soon, Zhao Ye was appointed as Shangshu Zuocheng, Hanlin bachelor Yu Wencuizhong was appointed as Shangshu Youcheng, and Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Cai Mao Tongzhi Privy Council. These people, together with Cai You who headed the Privy Council, formed the high-level decision-making team of the Song Dynasty government at that time.
