One Piece of Song Dynasty

At this time, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty gave Prince Zhao Huan a square jade belt. His intention was probably to show the ministers that Prince Zhao Huan could issue orders as the emperor while he stayed in the capital. Later, Song Huizong gave Prince Zhao Huan two minor palace officials and two palace concubines.

Zhao Huan "since he paid homage to the gift, the two concubines came in to see him." Zhao Huan looked up at the two concubines and said, "What do I want Ati to do?"

Based on this, some people believe that Song Huizong "had the inner Zen" at this time. Because when Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty came to the throne, Queen Qinsheng gave it to the Queen Mother with two maids. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty "followed the previous example, but it was a gift."

On that day, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty summoned Yu Wenxuzhong, Yu Wencuizhong's younger brother, to the inner hall to discuss matters with officials from the three provinces and the Privy Council. When Yu Wenxuzhong first became the staff officer of the Xuanfu Division in Hebei Province, he wrote a letter opposing the Northern Expedition to regain Yanjing. At this time, he happened to receive another report from Hedong Road, saying that Zong Han was leading troops to besiege Taiyuan and asked for assistance.

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty said to Yu Wenxuzhong: "Wang Fu did not use your words to enfeoff the Khitans as a vassal. Now the Jin people and soldiers are advancing in two directions. How will the situation be?"

Yu Wenxuzhong replied: "Although the traitors are fierce, Yu Xi summons soldiers from all walks of life to come to the rescue and win over people's hearts so that there will be no resentment. Relying on the accumulation of ancestors, your Majesty will strengthen his ambition. Don't be timid first, and you will definitely be able to protect yourself." Yu. For today's matter, it is better to first punish one's sins and correct the shortcomings, so as to please the people. When God's will comes back, he will prepare for the disaster, and the general can let it go."

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty declared: "This is the edict in vain."

Yu Wenxu said: "I have not received the imperial edict. I drafted it last night and am waiting to present it today."

In the reading of Emperor Huizong's order of the Song Dynasty, Yu Wenxu also listed more than ten things such as "going out of the palace, rebuking the public servants, obeying the imperial officials, dismissing the ministers, dismissing the Xicheng Office, dismissing the Liushang Bureau, dismissing the Dasheng Mansion, and sending money to the ministers". The edict was drafted."

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty looked at the imperial edict and said resolutely: "I will implement it one by one, and I will not hesitate to change it today." Yu Wenxu bowed and wept again.

Seeing that some of his colleagues were still hesitant, Yu Wencuizhong asked Song Huizong for permission to "paint yellow paintings and write imperial lists" accordingly, and Song Huizong ordered "to proceed quickly". Yu Wencuizhong then "called the provincial officials and people from various departments to go to the capital hall to copy it, pay it with stamps and deposits, and hang it in the capital."

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty punished himself with the following edict: I have inherited the virtues of my ancestors and entrusted them to the scholars and the people. The second discipline is here. Although I am conscientious in the center, I have made mistakes in the world. Use the capital of ignorance to build a successful career. The road of speech is blocked, and the guidance and flattery are heard every day; the favor holds the power, and the greedy and greedy people get their ambitions. Promoting the gentry and the virtuous are trapped in the party membership; the rise and fall of political affairs are restricted to the chronology. The wealth of the people is depleted by taxation, and the strength of the army is depleted by garrison service. It is useless to do more, and extravagance becomes a common practice. The source of profit has been exhausted, but those who seek profit are still punishing them; the soldiers are not provided with food and clothing, but those who eat too much sit back and enjoy wealth and honor. Disasters and banishments are seen but I don't realize it. The common people are resentful but I don't know. I only pursue my own mistakes. How can I regret it?

Having issued an edict to revolutionize the evils, I still ordered my assistant ministers to eliminate the old harm. If you take the blame, I will help you. I will thank heaven and man for their anger, and protect our ancestors' hard work. There was an imperial edict before this, and the order was issued to speak frankly and to revise the government in response to natural changes. It was not long before the implementation was carried out, and the power was seized from the officials. Then the officials were blamed and advised, so that the orders were not believed and the morale was depressed. What you do today is a matter of heaven and earth, and it will change again later. Why is there such an urgent matter as the state of the country? Don't hold back your honest words when dealing with the situation, and recruit wise and courageous people. You can think of clever strategies, and you can change the troubles. I look forward to the troops of King Qin from all over the world, and announce the strategy of defeating the enemy on both sides. I will always remember the benevolent virtues of the sages who will nourish the world for more than a hundred years. How can there be no loyal and righteous people from all over the world who come to take advantage of the country’s urgent needs?

In response to the order of guarding the towns, counties and cities in the world, each of them will lead his divisions to recruit troops, and the king will be diligent along the border. Those who can perform extraordinary feats will be given special rewards without being limited to regular rules. Those who are in the grass and swamps, embrace extraordinary talents, and can build great plans for the country. Those who decide important matters or go on envoys outside the borders are not second in rank; especially those who are different, they should be treated as generals.

In response to the Chinese and foreign ministers and officials, Xu Shifeng expressed his frank advice to Dengwenyuan Tongjin Si Jiaojin. I should personally see it and implement it thoroughly. Even if there is any inappropriateness, I will not incriminate him. All the orders given below are carried out immediately, and those who dare to judge the order, and in the name of knot, keep it secretly, and spread it to the city and court, and abandon it with everyone. Consult with you from all directions, and reflect your thoughts.

Then, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty successively issued imperial edicts, instructing the roads in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to stop setting up bureaus, stopping Huashigang and other roads to collect wood and plant trees to build bureaus, stop renting schools in Xicheng for internal and external repairs, stop talking about divisions, and stop Taoist officials. The Dasheng Mansion was dismissed, the teaching and music institute was dismissed, the officials of Genyue were dismissed, the officials of Baolu Palace of Yanfu Palace were dismissed, Qionglin Yichunyuan of the capital was dismissed, etc.

On the same day, Jin's East Route Army besieged Zhongshan Prefecture. Zhan Du, the prefect, held on to the city. However, the Jin army was unable to attack Zhongshan Prefecture, so they circled the city and continued southward.

On December , Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty appointed Yu Wenxuzhong as a bachelor of Baohe Palace and as the envoy to Hebei and Hedong, and ordered him to immediately rush to Hebei and Hedong to convey the edict to stabilize the morale of the military and the people.

On the same day, Yao Gu was appointed as the military envoy and capital commander of the auxiliary county of Gyeonggi. "The envoys are set up, but not always, and they are in charge of the military matters on the border." He is the commander-in-chief of the front army. Yao Gu came from a family of generals. His father Yao Si and his uncle Yao Lin were both generals of the Western Army. They were very famous in Guanzhong and were known as the "Two Yaos in Guanzhong". His younger brother Yao Xiong was also a general with outstanding military exploits. It can be said that the Yao family and the Zhong family were the two most powerful giants in the Western Army at that time. At this time, Yao Gu was serving as the governor and pacification envoy of Xihe Road. He was in Xizhou, present-day Lintao, Gansu Province, and he was not in the capital.

On the same day, Wang Fan was appointed as the bachelor of Baowen Pavilion, the deputy envoy of Chongji auxiliary county, and the commander of the capital. Wang Fan was ordered to go to Shaanxi to select reinforcements as soon as possible. He was given a deadline of one day to "sign his name to the Shangshu Province".

Tongzhilang and Li Ye, the Shaanxi transfer judge, wrote on this day, "I would like to discuss the feelings of the powerful enemy and ask for help from the envoys to negotiate peace." Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was overjoyed and immediately adopted it, and ordered him to serve as an envoy to the Jin people to make peace. Li Ye asked to bring Huang Wanliang, which made Prime Minister Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan feel embarrassed. They could not get so much gold from the treasury at once. Song Huizong then took out the "two golden urns, five thousand taels each" left by his ancestors, and ordered the Calligraphy and Art Bureau to immediately sell them into gold medals and give them to Li Ye to take with him.

Song Huizong felt that the invasion of the Jin people was fierce and that gold and silver money might not be able to stop their advance. Therefore, after appointing Prince Zhao Heng as the pastor of Kaifeng, "the emperor was very anxious to leave." "First there was a decree to favor Huaihe and Zhejiang," and then an edict was issued, "gathering the ministers to the capital hall to inquire about the plan."

On this day, all the ministers came to the capital hall to gather together. Song Huizong asked them for advice and discussed how to "place ministers in the southeast" and how to "have boats and boats to transport treasures to the east."

When the ministers saw that Song Huizong had decided to leave, they asked the crown prince to supervise the country. Song Huizong agreed and said: "All the officials from the three provinces and the Privy Council will stay in the capital to follow the crown prince, and all the officials can stay still."

The auxiliary ministers requested the arrangement of "subordinate ministers". Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty then ordered some paper and pen to be brought in, and personally appointed Taizai Bai Shizhong, who was also the envoy to the Privy Council, as the envoy to the palace; You Chengyu Wencuizhong, who was also the minister of the Secretariat to the Secretariat, was the deputy envoy to the palace.
