One Piece of Song Dynasty

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty issued an edict saying, "The amount of money needed to reward the army is huge, and the imperial court is trying its best to meet it. It does not dare to be stingy even if it provides utensils for worship in the ancestral temple. As for the families of the princes and officials, they have already issued an edict to provide all the supplies." I may not be able to make up the amount of help. Loyal and righteous people, in line with the interests of the country, will send all their private possessions that are willing to help the country to Nie Shan, the Minister of Household Affairs, and other places within the next day."

Soon, he issued an edict: "The kings of Fanyan's house, gold, silver, silk and silk, the Taoist, music, music, art and other officials and the five generals, inspected the belts given to them, and found that each family found gold and silver, but now they have received Yuan Fengku. If Dare to hide and move into hiding, and also practice military law. The gold and silver shared by the palaces and temples, the tombs of Fengxian Pu'an, the offices of the Six Shang Bureau, and the Kaifeng Prefecture will be kept in the Zuozang treasury."

While Song Qinzong was collecting gold and silver in the city, Li Xin ambushed the Jin army twice more for two consecutive nights outside the city. Although he killed very few Jin soldiers, the casualties were terrifying.

Although Zong Wang was angry, he had nothing to do. Li Xin only acted at night, which made Zong Wang uncomfortable. If he couldn't catch anyone, everything would be in vain, so Zong Wang could only forcefully suppress the matter. However, as the death toll of the Jin army increased, Increasingly, things could not be suppressed, so some rumors began to spread quietly among the Jin Army, which had a certain impact on the morale of the Jin Army, and Zong Wang was very worried about this.

Pharmacist Guo admonished Zong Wang, "Prince Langjun, since the opponent only attacks our lone soldiers or small teams, can we lure the snake out of the hole? Send a few soldiers tonight to lure the opponent out. Then surround them and annihilate them, which can temporarily solve the problem."

Zong Wang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's lure the snake out of its hole tonight."

Lu Junyi was very happy after winning two Golden Army votes in two consecutive days. Lu Junyi came over and asked Li Xin, "Brother, what are you doing tonight?"

Li Xin shook his head and said, "I quit, pack my things and leave immediately."

Lu Junyi asked, "Why? Isn't this a good job?"

Li Xin said, "Everything should be done only three times. I'm afraid the enemy will set a trap for us tonight. We only have a few people and we are not enough to put a hole in people's teeth. Pack your things quickly and prepare to withdraw to Hui'an."

Lu Junyi was a little disappointed and said, "Yes, brother."

Li Xin patted Lu Junyi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Brother Lu, there will be many opportunities after defeating the Jin Army."

Lu Junyi cupped his fists and said, "Okay, brother, I understand."

After Lu Junyi went down, Li Xin called Gao Ping and said, "After I take Di Ji away, you wait until the Jin army withdraws before returning to the city. There is no need to open Tianxiang Tower. I will come to Tokyo again in the second half of the year. If I am not here, During this period, you need to send someone to check on Master Li's residence, and after the Jin soldiers leave, we will start organizing the craftsmen and medical officers we bribed to evacuate Tokyo and go to Hui'an."

Gao Ping cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Master, I understand."

Li Xin went to the hut and looked at Maode Diji, whose hands and feet were tied and gagged, and said, "Diji, I have to wrong you first during this period. I will take you away today, and I will explain to you when you get to the place."

Two days later, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty summoned the governors to a meeting in Funing Hall to report on the gold and silver collection. "The gold is only taels, and the silver is only million taels." This amount was far from what the Jin people needed. The governors were frightened and asked to "please apologize again." Only Li Gang refused.

Song Qinzong was very anxious. He thought that if the Jin people were not satisfied, they would not easily withdraw their troops. He ordered Zhang Daoji to collect all the gold and silver utensils used for ancestral temple sacrifices in the palace, and the total was converted into five million taels of silver and one million taels of gold.

Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty arranged for the imperial censors, Cheng Heli and Zhou Wenyi, and officials from the Kaifeng Prefecture to arrest the family members of Tong Guan and Cai Jing. At this time, both Tong Guan and Cai Jingdu left Beijing with their families, leaving only some people left behind at home.

At the same time, Song Qinzong arranged for Tang Zhong, Xie Kejia, Li Zuo and Shi Ji to go to the homes of Cai Jing, Tong Guan, He Zhizhong, Zheng Shen, Gao Qiu, Wang Xian, Peng Duan, Liu Zongyuan and other people, as well as the homes of these people's relatives. Collect gold and silver treasures, collect all the gold and silver from these families directly, and deliver them to Yuanfeng Treasury for payment on the same day.

Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty said to them, "If they dare to show favoritism or turn into hiding, they will allow insiders to report. Once verified, half of the reward will be given to the informant. Those who hide will be subject to military law."

Among these people, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and Gao Qiu were all favorites of Song Huizong, and their families were very wealthy. There are also people who have passed away, how to hold on to it. The most special person is Zheng Shen, the father-in-law of Song Huizong, the father of Empress Zheng.

Song Qinzong believed that now that the Jin troops were approaching the city, they might launch an attack at any time, and the country would be threatened with destruction at any time. If you can negotiate peace with the Jin people, you can preserve your ancestral country. Therefore, it was urgent to quickly accumulate the amount of gold and silver, and he was desperate for this.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Kang Wang Zhao Gou and Shao Zai Zhang Bangchang, at the urging of Song Qinzong, set off for Jinying to serve as hostages. During the incident, Li Ye and Gao Shize, the Youwu doctor, served as deputy envoys respectively. Carrying the court's peace negotiation oath, they also went to Jinying to continue the peace talks. Xiao Sanbaonu and other golden envoys accompanied them.

When King Kang went to the Jin camp to be a hostage, Gao Shize once made a suggestion to Song Qinzong: "Prepare the prince's ceremonial guard, and pay more attention to the body. If you show weakness, you will be insulted by the Jin people." However, until the time of departure, Song Qinzong said: There was no response to this suggestion either.

Among the many princes of Song Huizong, Kang Wang Zhao Gou was not particularly eye-catching. Because his mother, Webster, was just a graceful woman with a relatively low status and had never been favored. Therefore, it can be said that Zhao Gou has been growing up in obscurity.

Wei Shi was originally an ordinary maid next to Empress Zheng. She had a close relationship with another maid, Qiao, and they became sisters in private. If one of them is rich, don't forget each other. Qiao was very beautiful, and later she was favored by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty and made a noble concubine. Qiao did not forget the agreement and recommended Webster to Song Huizong many times, and Webster was favored. In February of the first year of Daguan, Webster was promoted to Cai Ren. In June of this year, Wei gave birth to a son, Zhao Gou, who was promoted to Jieyu. The next year, Webster was promoted to Wanrong, but he was never favored.

Zhao Gou is very talented and has a high level of understanding. He works hard whether he is studying literature or martial arts. He is "easy to learn and memorize, and can recite more than a thousand words a day." Someone once praised Zhao Gou for being "wise, powerful, and like a master of arts." Judging from the fact that he dared to take the heavy burden on himself and enter the Jin camp as a pledge, this statement is true.

On this day, before leaving, Zhao Gou entered the palace and secretly told Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, "If the imperial court has any advantages, it will not care about a prince." Although the words were said lightly, they carried a heavy weight, which greatly moved Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty.

Before leaving, Zhang Bangchang also went to the palace to secretly report to Song Qinzong. He requested Song Qinzong's imperial approval to ensure that he would not change the peace plan to cede territories to ensure the safety of the hostages. Song Qinzong did not agree. Zhang Bangchang's performance was very poor, in sharp contrast to Zhao Gou.
