One Piece of Song Dynasty

If the report by Zhongshushe was objective and fair, then the report by another official on the same day obviously distorted the facts and had other agendas. The official listed Li Gang's ten major crimes in the memorial, which directly set off a wave of exposing and criticizing Li Gang. The methods and tone of the expose and criticize were basically the same as those used to expose and criticize Wu Min. If he retreated, he could see the political struggle among high-level officials in the DPRK at that time.

The official said: "The newly appointed bachelor of Guanwen Palace, Li Gang of Yangzhou, was originally an extraordinary talent, but he misused his weapon. He took shelter in the family of Cai family and fell in love with Cai family's best friends. At first, the emperor had the intention of inner Zen, and Cai You went to investigate first. Later, Li Gang was brought in as a supporter, allowing him to take risks and achieve meritorious service. Li Gang's crimes were too numerous to cover up, so I would like to enumerate them for Your Majesty:

The Supreme Emperor has a profound idea in his heart and is tired of listening to it for thousands of times. Your Majesty succeeded to the throne as your eldest son, what should I do with you? Li Gang dared to covet the merits of Heaven and regard it as his own strength. This is the only crime.

When the Jin soldiers came to the city, as soon as the Western Army arrived, the Jin people were frightened and did not dare to plunder, because they could not predict the number and strength of the Western troops. If the two armies were in a stalemate, it would be easier to negotiate for peace. However, Li Gang wanted to win. When Yao Pingzhong is defeated, the Jin people will resume their ambition to be a tiger and a wolf. This is the second crime.

Wang Xiaodi posted a list to collect gold treasures from the people, and the people of Kyoto were in commotion. Later, the imperial court decided that it would no longer be taken from the people, but Li Gang took credit for it by publishing the literary list. As a minister, he actually went to the street to collect the front list, praised the soldiers and the people, and blamed the emperor. This is the third crime.

Since the soldiers acted rashly, the court had no choice but to temporarily remove Li Gang. Li Gang silently told his buddies what he wanted, and his buddies led their soldiers to the palace to beg for Li Gang. He used this to threaten his father, which almost led to chaos. This is the fourth crime.

Li Gang personally led the imperial envoys, but did not know how to care about the country. He pretended to be a king and a noble person in exchange for personal favors. The rewards for the four walls are too many, ranging from a few to thousands. However, if relatives are old and old, or they transfer official assets indiscriminately, or they are appointed officials for free, and there are few survivors, this is the fifth crime.

Li Gang secretly cooperated with Wu Min to protect Cai You and recommended Cai Jing to meet the emperor. After the Supreme Emperor returned to Beijing, Li Gang strongly recommended Cai You to return him to Beijing, but his whereabouts were mysterious. In Li Gang's letter to Cai You, there is a secret message that he should not forget. I don't know what the so-called secret message is. This is the sixth crime.

Li Gang believed that he had many merits, so he rejected his colleagues, indulged in his likes and dislikes, and acted in vain, so that His Majesty gave him a warning to only use it to bring blessings and to use it to bring power. This is the seventh sin.

Li Gang, as a counselor, had little knowledge and was unable to predict the enemy's deceit. He would often pay the envoys of the Jin Kingdom with wax letters, and he wasted his remaining opinions, which made the Jin people more resentful and plundered our people, causing the bandits in Hebei and Hedong to be unstoppable. This is the eighth sin.

Because of the defeat in Zhongshi's army, His Majesty sent his ministers to propagate Hedong. However, Li Gangzhuo dared to resist the emperor's orders, begged for the officials appointed by His Majesty, and used his ministers to resist the emperor's orders, which was almost domineering. This was the ninth crime.

After Li Gang arrived at Mengjin, he did not use caution to measure the strength of the troops, but used military law to supervise the battle. As a result, the troops who were trying to relieve Qian were defeated and defeated. In the end, there was no significant success, and Taiyuan fell. This is one of the ten crimes.

The ancients called him a person with a bad mouth, but Li Gang said that he only knew the traces of attacking children when he marched and used troops. He is also arrogant and arrogant, and his colleagues rarely see him. Only wisdom cannot use the wise, which will lead to defeat and damage to the country's prestige. The Jin people will disturb Heshuo again, causing the court to send envoys to discuss peace. His Majesty Fuwang has long since rectified his ten sins, worked hard and vigorously, and is specially given to depose him. He is a minister who has selfish interests and harms the country. "

In fact, Song Qinzong may not necessarily believe all the ten crimes that his officials accused Li Gang of. However, Li Gang failed to rescue Taiyuan. This is an obvious fact. If there is no punishment, it is normal for the ministers to disobey. Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty then issued an order to remove Li Gang from the post of Yangzhou magistrate and ordered him to go to Hangzhou and promote him to Hangzhou Dongxiao Palace as a bachelor of Guanwen Palace.

However, the ministers were very dissatisfied with Li Gang's treatment. They continued to criticize Li Gang, and some ministers reported: "Yesterday, the Jin people surrounded Taiyuan for a long time without being relieved. I know that Li Gang, the Privy Council, led the troops to rescue, and the soldiers were not invincible." There are many. A total of seventy or eighty officials were awarded, and as many as sixty were sent out to serve. They were all summoned to the shogunate regardless of their ability, which caused the shogunate to be chaotic. The military and administration came from many branches, and there was no success at the moment. Partial advantage The generals did not know the orders, and the soldiers killed each other in battle. If they followed the rules and did not attack, they would be defeated. If they fought, they would flee without fighting. If you kill a general without reporting it to the commander, if you capture him alive, you are not a gold man. The soldiers fled and the gold and silk were lost. Li Gang gave up. , their subordinate officials were sent out for some reason, or came with them, each with a banknote, no salary, no so-called laws and disciplines. This is the way to practice, and I want to win a decisive victory, but I haven't heard of it.

The commander-in-chief must personally attend the battle to protect the generals and ensure success. However, Li Gang was sitting in Huaizhou, hundreds of miles away from the army. There were so many officials in the shogunate to consult, organize, and manage official affairs, and most of them were latecomers, so Li Gang proudly did not ask. The only people Li Gang spent time with every day and night were Zou Bing and Zhang Mu. The rest of the staff and generals bowed and retreated sooner or later. If you have any enlightenment, you must first ask Zou Bing and Zhang Mu to teach it, and then you can see it. Therefore, people complain a lot and end up feeling helpless. How could Zou Bing and Zhang Mubai be in office and know about the military affairs? Li Gang would have hundreds of thousands of people and decided to plot against these two people. It can be said to be extremely absurd. I heard that Li Gangchu wanted to stay in Longde, but Zou Bing and Zhang Mu strongly opposed it and could not go. When the army was slightly weakened, Li Gang hurriedly supervised the generals, which made the soldiers angry.

I don't know what to do, and I am at a loss what to do. Taiyuan had been lost for a few days, and Li Gang was still unknown in the army. Why should he expect him to be able to predict the enemy in advance? It would be a waste of time and would harm the country's prestige.

Observing the majesty of the text and the excellent tour of the palace and ancestral hall, it is not suitable to find it. I would like to give it to you to help the teacher. Zou Bing, Zhang Mu, Zanzuo and Zuo made mistakes, so they should also seize their previous lives to show the country's prestige and to suppress the military and political affairs. "

Most of these accusations against Li Gang are based on facts. Of course, there are some situations that Li Gang cannot control. Whether from the perspective of strategic deployment or battlefield command, the Song Dynasty's military was in chaos and a complete mess. Now, the officials put all the responsibility for this chaos on Li Gang.

Song Qinzong had no choice but to issue an order to remove Li Gang from all his posts and only promote him to Dongxiao Palace in Hangzhou. Zou Bing and Zhang Mu were also removed from their posts and sent elsewhere.

However, the ministers were still not satisfied with this. They continued to expose and criticize Li Gang, and again listed Li Gang's ten major crimes. They had to make Li Gang aware of his crimes and criticize him.

Song Qinzong had no choice but to issue an order to appoint Li Gang as deputy envoy of Baojing Army and place him in Jianchang Army.

Li Gang was dissatisfied and wrote a letter to criticize the situation, but was severely attacked by his officials. Song Qinzong then issued an order to relocate Li Gang to the Ningjiang Army farther away.

On September , when the imperial court was busy exposing and criticizing Li Gang's crimes, the Jin envoy Wang Ru came to Tokyo. Wang Ru was sent by Zong Wang, the right deputy marshal of the Jin Army. Zong Wang stated in a letter to Song Qinzong that the Song Dynasty had to cede the land of the three towns and now had no choice. Because one town in Taiyuan has been occupied by them, the remaining two towns must also be cut off.
