One Piece of Song Dynasty

The food of Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty was always provided by the Jin people according to the emperor's treatment. The main food was wontons and flat dumplings. Sometimes wontons, pancakes and steamed buns with meat were also provided. The waiters had never eaten the cakes and buns, so they all rushed to grab and taste them. When the Jin man who came to deliver the imperial meal saw this, he put his hand on his forehead and said, "It is your fault that you have not served this meal to the emperor. How can you eat it?"

On the morning of the second day of December, Zong Han and Zong Wang decided to hold a surrender ceremony. Zong Han first sent people to cover the owl tail on the roof of the Zhai Palace with green felt, and used a curtain to cover the place where the dragon was painted on the screen, and then arranged an incense table facing north in the palace. Then, Xiao Qing was sent to inform the Emperor of Song Dynasty to come to meet him, while Zong Han and Zong Wang stood waiting at the entrance of the palace.

After a while, accompanied by Xiao Qing, Song Qinzong came on horseback. Xiao Qing briefly introduced Zong Han and Zong Wang to Song Qinzong. This was the first time Song Qinzong saw them, and he felt that these two were indeed extraordinary talents. The second prince, Marshal Zong Wang, is thin and tall, smart and capable. Marshal Zong Han, the Prime Minister, was tall and bold, yet powerful without anger. Song Qinzong handed the surrender form to Zong Han, bowed to Zong Han and Zong Wang, and then rode into the palace. Song Qinzong walked in front, followed by Zong Han and Zong Wang.

As soon as Song Qinzong saw the incense case in the palace, he immediately dismounted, walked over and stood in front of the incense case. Zong Han ordered Xiao Qing to read out the surrender form. Song Qinzong took the initiative to kneel down and kowtow in the direction of the Great Jin Kingdom in the north.

At this time, heavy snow suddenly fell outside the palace, covering the sky and the earth, rolling around the world, leaving only a vast sky. Song Qinzong's attendants did not dare to cry loudly, and they were all lamenting.

At noon, Zong Han and Zong Wang held a banquet in Zhai Palace to entertain Song Qinzong and the accompanying Prime Minister and Prince. When they entered the table, Zong Han and Zong Wang were very polite, and they insisted on the etiquette of guest and host, and insisted that Song Qinzong sit in the main seat. Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty couldn't give in any more, so he had to sit down at the main seat.

Although Song Qinzong was sitting in the main seat, the real host of the banquet was Zong Han. After drinking for three lines, Zong Han began to speak. He first mentioned Song Huizong: "The Supreme Emperor was too dishonest back then, which led us to send troops south. I still hope that the Supreme Emperor can come out of the city and meet him. There are some questions that I would like to ask in person."

Song Qinzong quickly explained: "The emperor is not in good health. If you have any regrets, your son can bear it for him."

Zong Han smiled and said: "Emperor Renxiao, let's not talk about this matter."

Then, Zong Han scolded Song Qinzong again and said: "The reason why our army sent out for the second time is the same as the first time. You are too untrustworthy and go back on your word." Song Qinzong smiled bitterly and was speechless.

Zong Han saw that Song Qinzong looked embarrassed, so he changed the topic and said, "Recently, many people have left the city. They are all people who have betrayed the emperor and are unfaithful and unfilial. Death is not a pity, so we have ordered them all to be killed." Song Qinzong's face suddenly turned pale and he was silent.

Zong Han changed the topic again and said: "Born as a Chinese barbarian, it has its own territory. How can China be occupied by us, let alone the hearts of heaven and man have not abandoned the Zhao family. Even if other heroes rise up, the Central Plains will not be mine. We just want to With the big river as the boundary, the Song Dynasty is still allowed to use Dajin Zhengshuo."

Zong Han's statement is very clear. After hearing this, Song Qinzong seemed to have taken a reassurance, and his face suddenly relaxed a lot.

Zong Han said: "Although the two countries have made peace, the four parties do not know the truth. I am worried that there will be changes in various places when they hear that the capital has fallen. Please send envoys to various places to inform them. I can send people to send them out of the areas controlled by our army." Song Qinzong nodded in agreement.

Zong Han added: "The third prince is now under guard in Xijing. The Zhao family mausoleum will not be damaged, but please don't worry."

Song Qinzong said: "To thank the two commanders for saving the lives of the city, I specially prepared a small gift when they came. There are sixteen loads of gold and silver, fifty beds of silk and silk, and two gold and jade belts." After saying that, Song Qinzong ordered the left and right to take out the inner palace. Hoof gold was given to Zong Han and Zong Wang.

Zong Han smiled slightly and said: "Now that the city is destroyed, everyone and everything are mine. When the emperor comes, he will discuss important matters. What is the use of this? If you want to reward me, you can give it to your ministers."

Zong Han's flat refusal surprised Song Qinzong. Song Qinzong felt that the smile and tone of the Prime Minister were mysterious and unpredictable, and Song Qinzong was a little at a loss.

At this time, Zong Han stood up and said: "It's getting late. I'm afraid the soldiers and civilians in the city are uneasy. You can go back to the city early. I'll give you a bribe, but it's enough to keep the left and right."

Later, Zong Han and Zong Wang accompanied Song Qinzong through the corridor, came to the door of the palace, and put Song Qinzong on his horse. Song Qinzong was uneasy and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

In order to ensure the safety of Song Qinzong on the road, Zong Hante sent a team of elite soldiers to escort him. Zong Han asked them to send the Emperor of Song Dynasty to Nanxun Gate before returning. On the way, these Jin soldiers and the imperial guards of Song Qinzong were talking, laughing and congratulating each other. A Jin soldier said: "Today we are a family, I am very happy. I have been in the army for twelve years, and I don't know whether my father and son are alive or dead. I am glad that the two countries have made peace, so there will be a period of disarmament. On the way south, the Prime Minister and the Second The princes all sent orders: Bianjing must be conquered. If we cannot capture it, even if it takes twenty years, we will never give up. If Bianjing is not conquered, we will never return to our country."

From the day Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty left the city, tens of thousands of people gathered spontaneously in Nanxunmen every day to welcome the Holy Emperor. Early in the morning on the second day of December, many officials, imperial students, and citizens gathered in Nanxunmen again, and the event was unprecedented. Because Song Qinzong sent someone here to announce the edict yesterday evening, saying that he would return to the city today.

The sky was overcast, with scattered snow falling in the sky. On the broad imperial road from Zhuque Gate to Nanxun Gate, there was a lot of people. Some were burning incense and praying, and some were looking up. There was an endless stream of people coming and going. Everyone has a common wish, hoping that the Holy Emperor will return to the city as soon as possible. Because the return of the Holy Emperor to the city means that the peace negotiation is successful and that the people in the city are saved from the ravages of war.

After noon, Nanxun Gate was still closed. Some people thought that the emperor might not return to the city today, so they gradually dispersed. There are still some people who don't give up and continue to wait there.

At dusk, the Nanxun Gate suddenly opened, and an envoy galloped over and announced loudly to everyone: "The Holy Emperor has returned to the capital." People were surprised by the news and rushed to tell each other, and people came from all directions to greet him.

Not long after, Song Qinzong rode into Nanxun Gate. Many officials, imperial students and citizens lined the road to welcome him, kneeling on both sides of the road and shouting "Long Live the Mountain". The elderly and children do not need to kneel down to worship. Instead, they hold soil in their hands and run to fill up the remaining mud and snow on the road. After a while, the mud and snow on the royal road were all covered with dry soil.

Some people held incense and candles and ran to the front of Song Qinzong's procession to lead the way. Some people wanted to get closer to see the holy face and clashed with the guards. Some people even burned their foreheads and burned their arms. People expressed their inner joy in various ways. . Because people believed that the emperor's safe return meant that the peace talks had been successful and the disaster had been resolved. l0ns3v3
