One Piece of Song Dynasty

Wu Ruo not only wrote to the emperor, he also wrote to the censor Zhongcheng Xu Han. He said in the letter that people believed that Wu Min was Cai You's best friend. At the beginning, Wu Minjian asked the emperor to abdicate because the Cai family and his son found out that the emperor had the intention to abdicate the throne and asked Wu Min to "take advantage of it". The purpose was to allow Wu Min to "protect his family's misfortunes" in the court. Wu Min's letter to save Li Bangyan fully reflects his good intentions, that is, he actually saved Cai You while pretending to save Li Bangyan.

Wu Ruo should be called Zhang Bangchang's cousin. He married Zhang Bangchang's aunt's cousin. Previously, he often advised Zhang Bangchang to "admonish the emperor about flowers and stones", but Zhang Bangchang refused to listen. Wu Ruo then told Zhang Bangchang's wife to give her some advice. Zhang's wife said in shock: "Why is Wu Lang Fengxie suddenly like this?"

Wu Ruo was indeed a little crazy. He actually made public all the books he wrote and the letters he wrote to Xu Han. Everyone in the society watched and talked about it.

Song Qinzong was very angry after learning about it. At that time, he wanted to continue to use Li Bangyan and Wu Min, so he sent someone to reprimand Wu Ruo and ordered him to leave the city that day. Wu Ruo also cooperated and left happily. People in the capital all sighed, "It is quite a pity for the scholars."

The news that the Song Dynasty signed the alliance under the city quickly spread to the Jin Kingdom. The entire Jin Dynasty court was very happy. Only the two kings of Fan who broke into the Jin Kingdom were depressed.

The night after they received the news, Fan and Wang came to Shuixianju in Datong Mansion to drink. While drinking, Fan Wen said: "What did the imperial court do? This peace treaty is too humiliating. Brother Wang, what do you call this? We are here every day." Here we are doing things through life and death, but the imperial court is carelessly losing ground over there."

Wang Xiu said: "Brother Fan, let's just talk about it here. What should we do tomorrow? Besides, we are not under the command of the court. We only need to do what the adults say."

Fan Wen looked slightly drunk and said, "That's right. By the way, Brother Wang, you should have sent all the contents of the peace agreement to Liang Xing?"

Wang Xiu nodded and said: "It has been sent out."

Fan Wen suddenly asked: "Brother Wang, why did you send us out in the first place? You must know that sending spies privately is equivalent to treason, which is a capital crime."

Wang Xiu raised his wine glass and said thoughtfully: "After these few years, I now feel that you may really want to rebel. You may have seen through the incompetence of the court and have no hope for the court. Of course, this is just my guess. "

Fan Wen said: "It would be great if this was the case. Whether it was the Yan-Yun negotiations or the Song-Jin war, the imperial court was too incompetent."

Wang Xiu drank a glass of wine and said, "Don't think about these things anymore. Let's just do our own thing. I believe you will handle the domestic affairs well."

Liang Xing quickly received the news from Fan and Wang. When he first received the news, Liang Xing smashed several tea cups angrily. The crackling sound even alarmed Qinglian and Han Xing.

Qinglian came to the main room and saw an angry Liang Xing and said: "What's going on, officer? What makes you so angry?"

Liang Xing didn't say anything. Niu San quietly handed the secret message to Qinglian. After reading it, Qinglian sighed: "What's the use of being angry now? What happened has already happened."

Liang Xing said angrily: "Someone is angry at the incompetence of the imperial court, which has led to the loss of a large area of ​​land."

Qinglian said: "It's better to send the news to the adults first."

Liang Xing motioned Niu San to send the news to Li Xin. After Niu San left, Qinglian comforted him and said, "Officer, since the matter has happened, there is no point in getting angry. We have to trust you, sir."

Liang Xing sighed: "I don't know how angry Brother Zhao was when he heard the news."

Qinglian asked: "By the way, what do you plan to do with Xiao Dezi and Xiao Shunzi? They will stay at your house forever."

These two eunuchs bribed by Liang Xing were taken into his home by Liang Xing because they had mastered some of Liang Xing's secrets when the Jin Army first captured Yanjing. Later, when Liang Xing moved to Dading Mansion, he also took them with him. , which I naturally brought back when I moved back to Yanjing.

Liang Xing replied: "Wait a little longer. When the Cangzhou area is occupied by the Jin army, and then Cangzhou Shuixianju opens, I will send the two of them to Cangzhou, and let shopkeeper Qian send them to the adults through the waterway." .”

In the evening, Zhao Yun came to Liang's house uninvited. When Zhao Yun saw Liang Xing, he said angrily: "Brother Liang, bring some wine to someone."

Liang Xing saw the angry Zhao Yun and said, "It seems you know everything."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Well, I really didn't expect that the imperial court would be so incompetent."

Liang Xing took out the wine and said, "Stop talking, just get drunk."

A few days later, Li Xin received the news from Liang Xing. After reading the secret letter, Li Xin sneered: "The court can agree to such humiliating conditions. This official is no different from his father."

Liang Hongyu asked: "Then what should we do?"

Li Xin said: "Look, the more stupid things the court does, the more legitimate it will be when our sect takes over the Song Dynasty in the future."

Then Li Xin called Liu Fa, Ma Kuo, and Zhao Liangsi, and handed the secret letter to the three of them and said: "Take a look at the content of the peace agreement reached between the imperial court and the Jin Army."

After the three people looked at it, Liu Fa said: "The imperial court is equivalent to giving up the north of the Yellow River. Without these three places, there is almost no danger to defend the north of the Yellow River."

Ma Kuo sighed: "The imperial court is frightened by the Jin people."

Li Xin said: "Zichong, Liangsi, I would like to ask you something. You are the people who have experienced the whole process of joining forces with Jin to conquer Liao and recover Yanyun. I would like to ask you to write down the whole process."

Liu Fa asked: "My lord, do you want these things to be written down and circulated to the entire army to stimulate the fighting spirit of the entire army?"

Li Xin nodded and said: "Exactly, not only the whole army, but also the whole island should know that the Song Dynasty still represents the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and we Han people are going through a period of humiliation. We should bear this shame in our hearts in the future We want to avenge it.”

Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo clasped their fists and said, "Yes, lord, I understand."

As the Jin troops retreated further and further away, the city of Tokyo gradually regained its former vitality and vitality. The Zhouqiao Night Market has also opened and is bustling with people. From court officials to ordinary people in the city, most people believed that the crisis facing the Song Dynasty had passed, and the Jin people would not attack the city again. The prosperous atmosphere of feasting and feasting, and the morbid pursuit of corruption have begun to permeate all levels of society. Many knowledgeable people are deeply worried about this.

At the same time, with the arrival of the main force of the Western Army led by generals such as Yao Gu, Zhong Shizhong, and Zhe Yanzhi, there were calls from society for the imperial court to stick to the three towns and fight a decisive battle with the Jin army. Every strong social voice will elicit a response in the court. On February , Xu Han, the censor Zhongcheng, wrote a letter supporting this call.
