One Piece of Song Dynasty

Soon after, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty sent Hong Zhongfu, a -year-old veteran, as an envoy to Hebei, Jingdong and other roads to appease thieves and refugees, "Edicts to recruit and surrender". Hong Zhongfu was eager to succeed and "asked those who surrendered to resume their previous taxes and services, and the sergeants received the original amount. Those who wanted to reduce their military status listened. As a result, the township party members pretended to be thieves in order to get tax exemptions. They had delinquencies in the ranks and became known as thieves." Get what you want". After Xu Churen, Yin of the Daming Prefecture, learned of these situations, he hurriedly reported the disadvantages. Hong Zhongfu then resigned from office and returned to Beijing as a palace envoy.

While sending officials to appease, Song Huizong secretly ordered his servant Liang Fangping to lead the army to conquer. Liang Fangping ordered Yang Weizhong, Liu Guangshi, Xin Xingzong and other generals to encircle and suppress Zhang Wanxian, Gao Tuoshan and Zhang Di. Zhang Wanxian and more than people were soon recruited and surrendered by Li Xiaochang, deputy envoy of Jingdong Transportation. Gao Tuoshan led his troops to fight on Hebei Road and the Qingzhou, Mizhou, Yizhou, and Xuzhou areas on Jingdong Road. They were defeated by the coalition forces of Yang Weizhong and Xin Xingzong, and Gao Tuoshan himself surrendered. When Zhang Di led his troops to besiege Junzhou, he was defeated by Liu Guangshi and Zhang Di himself died in the battle.

The seventh year of Xuanhe was a very unusual year for Song Huizong, and it was also a very unusual year for the Song Dynasty. In the first month of this year, major earthquakes suddenly occurred in Hedong, Shaanxi and other places. "All the mountains and vegetation were submerged into the ground." Houses collapsed in many places, causing serious casualties and property losses. The earthquake was also felt in the Tokyo area, and "the doors of the Imperial Palace shook and made a sound." Soon, the phenomenon of refugee migration occurred in "Lianghe, East and West Beijing, West Liangzhejiang, Huanqing, Binning, Jingyuan" and other places. In order to prevent another civil uprising, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty sent his chamberlain to Hedong and Shaanxi to understand the situation, and ordered various state governments to provide emergency disaster relief and compensate the people.

In early February, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty heard about the "Great Famine in Yanshan" and immediately issued an edict, requiring " dendrobiums of rice be transported from the capital to Yanshan", and ordered Meng Kui, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to personally deal with the matter. Meng Kui led the fleet to set off from the capital in a mighty and mighty manner, with boats and boats following the tail, and went north along the river, entering the Luhe River from Baoxin Shatang, and then transported to Yanjing. This batch of food was military ration, and its purpose was to "support the Yan army."

At this time, Cai Sui, who was in great power, "acted for profit without any rules, and sent envoys everywhere to ask for interviews. If he liked it, he would be recommended. Otherwise, he would be impeached, and all the gentry at home and abroad would look at him with disdain." Moreover, he also imitated the Yingfeng Division established by Wang Fu and created a Xuanhe Treasury-style Gong Division, which "divided the treasury into various treasuries, such as spring goods, coins and silks, clothing, jade, food, utensils, etc., all with the same name." "From gold and jade on top to vegetables and fruits below, everything is collected in cages. The Yuanfeng Grand View Treasury and the warehouse where the money is found are all sealed and piled."

Cai Sui's arrogance and wantonness made Cai You extremely angry. He secretly stepped up his search for evidence to kill Cai Sui. Hard work paid off, and he finally found strong evidence in a book called Poems of the Western Qing Dynasty written by Cai Sui. In this book, Cai Sui dared to quote the remarks of Su Shi and Huang Tingjian. This is evidence of crime. Because Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty issued an edict not long ago, it was strictly forbidden to quote the collected works of Su and Huang, otherwise it would be considered a violation.

At the same time, Cai Sui had a bigger handle, which was caught by Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan. That is, Cai Sui took advantage of his power and promoted his brother-in-law Han Li to serve as Minister of Household Affairs. Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan went to court to impeach Cai Sui, accusing him of stealing power and using power for personal gain. Cai You was even more vicious. He even suggested to Song Huizong to execute Cai Sui.

Song Huizong had long heard about Cai Sui's performance and was very dissatisfied, so he ordered Cai Sui to be exiled. After hearing the news, Cai Jing hurriedly entered the palace to plead. For Cai Jing's sake, Song Huizong exempted Cai Sui from exile, ordered Cai Sui to be suspended from his post, and revoked the "birth edict" given to Cai Sui.

At this time, Song Huizong was very disappointed with Cai Jing. He knew that the Cai Jing of today was no longer the Cai Jing of the past, and he hoped that Cai Jing would take the initiative to resign. However, Cai Jing was obsessed with power and was unwilling to hand over the power of prime minister.

Just when the Song court was busy with internal fighting, shocking news came from the north that Emperor Tianzuo had been captured.

Emperor Tianzuo escaped from Xijing and went to Jiashan in March of the fourth year of Xuanhe. In early April, the Jin army occupied Xijing, and all tribes north of Yinshan and south of the desert surrendered. In early December, Emperor Tianzuo learned that the Jin army had occupied Yanjing, so he left Jiashan and "left Saoliguan to live in the stable home of the four tribes." The four tribes are the Yaonan Jiuzhang tribe, Hengzhang Sanfufang tribe, Guojiu Zhangbali and Yishiji tribes, and Guojiu Bie tribe. These four tribes are not included in the "Eighteen Tribes of Taizu" and the "Thirty-four Tribes of the Holy Sect". They are different from other tribes, but they also have their own tribal armies. At this time, Emperor Tianzuo still owned the tribes of Zhaofu in the north of the desert and in the southwest and northwest. He hoped to organize these forces to jointly fight against the Jin army.

In February of the fifth year of Xuanhe, Concubine Xiao De and Yelu Dashi came to the four tribes to defect to Emperor Tianzuo. Emperor Tianzuo was very angry that Yelu Chun proclaimed himself emperor and demoted himself to the title of King of Xiangyin. He refused to listen to Concubine Xiao De's defense and immediately ordered Concubine Xiao De to be executed. He deposed Yelu Chun as a commoner and removed Yelu Chun from the clan Removed from the genealogy.

Because Yelu Dashi argued hard, Emperor Tianzuo pardoned him and other people involved in the incident, and gave Yelu Dashi food and wine. Later, Emperor Tianzuo appointed Yelu Dashi as the capital commander and ordered him to lead his army east to fight against the Jin army.

Soon, Yelu Dashi was defeated at Juyongguan and unfortunately was captured. Zongwang forced Yelu Dashi to perform meritorious service, and forced him to lead the Jin army to attack the camp deployed by Emperor Tianzuo in the Yinshan area, and to capture Emperor Tianzuo in Jiashan. Subsequently, Zongwang led elite cavalry to attack Emperor Tianzuo's Qingzhong transport camp. Except for King Yeluyali of Liang who was lucky enough to escape, the rest of Emperor Tianzuo's children and members of the clan were captured, and more than carriages of baggage were captured by the Jin army. Emperor Tianzuo had returned to Jiashan at that time, so he was spared.

The queen of Xixia Emperor Li Qianshun was named Yelu Nanxian, and she was Princess Cheng'an of the Liao Kingdom. At that time, when Li Qianshun succeeded to the throne, in order to consolidate the relationship between Xixia and Liao, he proposed to Liao many times for marriage. In 1105, Emperor Tianzuo granted the title of Princess Cheng'an to the royal family daughter Yelu Nanxian and married Li Qianshun. Now, in the face of Emperor Tianzuo's calamity, Li Qianshun, as his son-in-law, did not stand idly by as his old father-in-law, Emperor Tianzuo.

As early as March of the fourth year of Xuanhe, Li Qianshun sent troops to assist Xijing, but Xijing soon fell. In May, Li Qianshun learned that Emperor Tianzuo had fled into Jiashan, so he sent general Li Liangfu to lead troops to rescue him, and fought with Jin general Wanyan Loushi on the banks of the Yichuan River. As a result, the Xia army was defeated. In July, Li Qianshun sent his minister Cao Ge quietly to Jiashan to ask Emperor Tianzuo about his daily life and give him food and salary.

In the first month of the fifth year of Xuanhe, Li Qianshun once again sent troops to rescue the Liao Dynasty, but was blocked by the Jin army and unable to advance. In May, Emperor Tianzuo pretended to surrender to the Jin army, quietly left Jiashan and fled west to Yuneizhou. After hearing the news, Li Qianshun immediately sent people to meet him at the border of Xia Kingdom and invited Emperor Tianzuo to enter Xia Kingdom. What is ridiculous is that Emperor Tianzuo first sent an envoy to the Xia Kingdom to confer Xia King Li Qianshun as the Xia Kingdom Emperor, and then came to Xixia.
