Qian Song

Chapter 260 If God Helps Zhao Paopao (Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)
...

After issuing the imperial edict on the cession of Hebei and Hedong, Zhao Huan found out those memorials that opposed the cession of Hebei and Hedong, read a few of them carefully, and suddenly felt that these arguments against the cession of Hebei and Hedong were also very reasonable, especially It was Wan Qixu, a doctor of Taixue, and Chao Guanzhi, the supervisory censor, who said it was very reasonable.

Zhao Huan called Wan Qixu, Chao Guanzhi and others to debate with Tang Ke.

I heard Wan Qixu, Chao Guanzhi and others say, "I would rather abandon gold and silk, wives and concubines than abandon the land", "Ministers regard abandoning the land as the country's right, forgetting the karma of eternity, and trying to seek the current peace.", " Betrayal of the country to seek profit, but devotion to the country. How can you be loyal to the Lord if you are willing to abandon the land of the country for a minister?" Zhao Huan began to waver again when he ceded Hebei and Hedong to retreat the enemy in exchange for peace.

That's right, Zhao Huan wanted to gather troops to fight Li Cun again.

But at this moment, the news that Li Cunqin led an army across the Yellow River reached Bianliang City in Tokyo.

After hearing the news, Zhao Huan was extremely surprised. He hurriedly summoned Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong, Nie Chang, He Li and other chief executives to discuss countermeasures.

Tang Ke and other Zaizhi rushed to the palace to meet Zhao Huan.

However, Tang Ke and other ministers were all very disapproving of the news that he didn't know where it came from.

——Tang Ke and other Zaizhi still insisted that with nearly 20 troops under the command of Fan Ne, Li Hui and Zhe Yanzhi defending the Yellow River, it is absolutely impossible for the dry army to cross the Yellow River so quickly.

……

Therefore, as soon as Li Cun knew that Zhao Gou was coming to see him, he decisively sent someone to pick up Zhao Gou, hoping to catch Zhao Gou quickly to eliminate future troubles.

Seeing that Zhao Gou and his party were leaving, Cizhou people thought that Zhao Gou was going to negotiate a peace.

Many Cizhou people surrounded him, stopped Zhao Gou's horse, and advised Zhao Gou not to negotiate peace.

Li Hui and Zhe Yanzhi, who were in charge of guarding the natural danger of the Yellow River, abandoned the Yellow River without a fight. The army was gone.

After Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he reused conservative officials and restored the official positions of his two brothers.

When Wang Yun was ordered to go on an envoy, he told his family that in the future, he should sacrifice to his ancestors frequently, and he might die for state affairs.

After thinking for a while, Wang Boyan sent Wu Yi doctor Liu Hao to lead two thousand cavalry to Cizhou to meet Zhao Gou.

After Wang Zongyi took the order, he sent his envoy Ma Gang to reprimand him and lead people out of the city for reconnaissance.

After Wang Boyan received Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou knew that the Gan army had already appeared in Wei County, Junzhou, southwest of Xiangzhou, and there were even soldiers of the Qian army stationed there, less than a hundred miles away from Xiangzhou.

Zong Ze, who was in charge of the battle, also hated Wang Yun, who was in charge of peace. He once wrote a memorial to Zhao Huan, saying: "Wang Yun went back and forth between Qian and Song Dynasties, and he was acquainted with the people of Dagan. Seeking profit, my emperor must be careful."

It took a long time for Zhao Huan to follow He Li's suggestion, and then issued an edict to Qin Wang, and urgently ordered the dispatch envoy Weng Yanguo to serve as the economic envoy, and lead the army guarding the front line of the Huaihe River to the north to Qin Wang.

Then the Cizhou people beat Wang Yun to death.

Historically, Yue Fei was among these 2000 people.

At this moment, Wang Yun brought the memorial to Zongze, and asked Zongze face to face: "Why did you slander me in front of the emperor?"

In the second year of Jingyou, Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty granted Cui Fu Jun Huguo Xianying Gong.

Zhao Gou was so frightened that he quickly assured the people of Cizhou: "I won't go north again."

Hearing what the old boatman said, Zhao Gou's heart was very heavy!

Speaking of which, it's no wonder that Zhao Huan had such doubts. In fact, Zong Ze always liked to exaggerate some facts in order to strengthen Zhao Huan's determination to resist the war.

Zhao Gou, Wang Yun and others were ordered by Zhao Huan to negotiate peace with Li Cun. Not long after they left Bianliang City in Tokyo, Zhao Huan issued an edict to commend Zhao Gou for not fearing life and death for solving the country's worries, and then promoted Zhao Gou's 36-year-old mother Long De Gong Wanrong made Wei Shi a virtuous concubine, and then promoted Zhao Gou to be the envoy of Anguo and Anwu Jiedu.

When Zhao Gou and his party arrived at the Anyang River in the outskirts of Xiangzhou, Zhao Gou, who had excellent eyesight, immediately saw Wang Boyan, who was wearing a military uniform with slender shoulders and led 1000 soldiers to meet him.

In the end, Zhao Huan discussed with Tang Ke and other officials, and simply ordered Zhao Huan's cousin, Wang Zonglin, the commander of the palace in front of the palace, to send Cha Hou to inquire about the news.

This made Zhao Gou's heart tremble, and he understood why Wang Boyan wanted to welcome him ten miles away.

Cui Jue is not from Cizhou, but he once served as a county magistrate in Cizhou.He is upright and selfless, and has insight into the details. The local people respectfully call him Cui Fujun.It is said that he can "manage the Yang world during the day and break the Yin mansion at night".After his death, he was granted the title of Land God of Cizhou by the Jade Emperor, and a shrine was built to worship him.

Wang Yun was from Youjingsi Village, Ziyan Township. Wang Yun's father named his brothers Yun and Ji, with the intention of letting them learn from Nan Jiyun, a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, and serve the country loyally.

After Zhending Mansion was captured by the Dagan Dynasty, Xiangzhou almost replaced the position of Zhending Mansion, and Wang Boyan and Zong Ze were almost equivalent to the two major military and political chiefs of the Zhao Song Dynasty in Hebei.

Then, Zhao Huan, who was still a little unsatisfied, asked the Kaifeng mansion to post a list to explain: "The soldiers who crossed the Yellow River and the north were the defeated soldiers of the Zheyan Zhibu. They have now sent people to appease them. The alarm was lifted. The previous Qingye order was stopped. The people outside the city belong to their own professions."

Zhao Gou, who had seen many servants killed in riots, was very frightened when he saw the crowds of people around him, and the crowds were excited.

Zhao Huan didn't know who was telling the truth, so he wanted Zhao Gou to help him find out what Zong Ze was like.
In addition, Zhao Huan also asked Zhao Gou to go to Cuifu Jun Temple in Cizhou to burn incense and worship for the Zhao Song Dynasty, hoping that Cui Fu Jun could bless the Zhao Song Dynasty to tide over this difficulty again.

Wang Yun was a Jinshi and the first rank. He was sent to Korea as an envoy. After returning, he compiled "Ji Lin Zhi" and dedicated it to Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji then promoted Wang Yun to know the Huaiyang Army.

All of a sudden, chaos appeared.

People in Bianliang City in Tokyo breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the announcement.

To be fair, compared with many Song officials in this era who cared only about their own lives and did not go to Hebei or Hedong to take office, Wang Boyan is not bad.

However, people are not as good as God.

Zong Ze listened to Wang Yun's suggestion, fortified the walls and cleared the fields, strictly ordered the people outside Cizhou City to transport all the grain and grass into the city, and burned the houses where they lived.

At the same time, Li Cun also knew about it, and Zhao Huan sent Zhao Gou to negotiate peace with him.

Just when Zhao Gou didn't know what to do, the person Wang Boyan sent to deliver the wax books found Zhao Gou.

But someone said to Zhao Huan that Zong Ze was seeking meritorious service, and his intentions could be punished.

People from Cizhou accused Wang Yun one after another: "The Qingye people are really spies!"

Zhao Gou, who was frightened by the people of Cizhou, was very moved when he saw this scene. He immediately took Wang Boyan's hand and said, "When I see the emperor someday, this king will be the first to recommend Wang Zhizhou as Jing Zhaoyin."

——At this time, Zhao Gou didn't know that the Gan army had actually crossed the Yellow River.

Then, Wang Yun humiliated Zongze and made it clear that Zongze had cheated the court of Zhao and Song Dynasties, and said that Zongze used this to cheat the editorial post.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Yun wanted to ride away on horseback.

At this moment, Wang Zongli rushed into the palace to report that the vanguard of the Qian army had arrived at Sishui Pass, Xu Gao, who was punished in the west of Beijing, and the soldiers of the Song army who were guarding Sishui Pass all fled. It will soon advance to Tokyo Bianliang City.

Therefore, Wang Boyan sent someone to Cizhou to deliver a wax book to Zhao Gou, telling Zhao Gou that Li Cun was looking for Zhao Gou everywhere, and advised Zhao Gou not to see Li Cun.

——That's right, these people are exactly the dead bodies that Li Cun asked Zhang Chao and Hu Tu to send, with the purpose of paralyzing Zhao Huan's monarch and ministers, and preventing the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty from escaping from Bianliang City, Tokyo.

But the news that the Gan army had crossed the Yellow River came one after another, saying that Bianliang City in Tokyo was in danger.

Because of this, Zhao Huan has promoted Zong Ze several times.

Zhao Gou felt that Zong Ze was lying, but Zhao Gou did not expose Zong Ze on the spot.

Zhao Huan immediately ordered to let the officers and soldiers who had already climbed the city wall come down again, and the city gate was opened.

After burning incense, Zhao Gou got an auspicious hexagram.

Later, Zhao Gou asked Zongze to come forward to explain to the Cizhou people that he was not going to negotiate a peace, but went to Cuifu Jun Temple to burn incense, and asked Zongze to ride a horse to clear the way for him. .

Zhao Gou didn't take Zongze's words, but said: "Your Majesty has ordered me to inspect the Cizhou soldiers. I don't know where the army is going down now?"

Zong Ze didn't expect the Cizhou people to be so crazy. He sent someone to capture a person who took the opportunity to make trouble, and beheaded him for public display. Only then did the chaotic situation be stabilized.

When Zhao Gou, Wang Yun and the others were crossing the river, they were surprised to find that there were a lot of ice blocks floating on the Yellow River, which had never been frozen in previous years.

But after Zhao Gou and others came back, they found out that a group of people from Cizhou rushed into Zhao Gou’s temporary residence and robbed Wang Yun’s belongings, including the credentials Wang Yun carried and the edicts ceding Hebei and Hedong. After leaving, one of Wang Yun's followers was also severely beaten by Cizhou people.

But just as Zhao Gou wanted to run, he was stopped by people from Cizhou, who said one after another: "Shangshu Wang is a fine writer, and he has been executed. Your Majesty can't go north."

During Song Zhenzong's time, the temple was overhauled, and the Cuifu Jun Temple in Cizhou was officially recognized and valued by the court of Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Zong Ze learned that Zhao Gou, Wang Yun and his party had arrived, and personally led all the civil and military officials from Cizhou out of the city for six or seven miles to meet Zhao Gou.

The next day, Zong Ze accompanied Zhao Gou to burn incense at Cuifu Jun Temple.

Although the soldiers of the Dagan Dynasty were fighting, they had excellent military discipline and never harassed ordinary people, but when war came, the people at the bottom must suffer first, so smart people did not like war.

Earlier, Zhao Huan ordered Wang Ji to follow Zhong Shizhong to rescue Taiyuan, but the army was defeated and Wang Ji died.

Cui Ziyu's name is Cui Jue, Ziyu is Cui Jue's character, and he was active in the Tang Dynasty Li Shimin.

But as soon as Wang Yun got on the horse, before his buttocks sat on the saddle, he was pulled off by a group of Cizhou people.

Then, Zhao Huan ordered Mei Zhili, the servant of the Ministry of rites, to be the Qingye envoy, and immediately went out of the city to carry out the Qingye envoy.

As a result, the Qian army went south, but they did not go to Cizhou, but the river from the famous Li Gudu.

On the day when the Cizhou people made trouble, Wang Boyan sent scouts to find out that Li Cun was looking for Zhao Gou everywhere.

In this regard, Zhao Huan, Tang Ke and other chief executives looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

During the Anshi Rebellion, Tang Xuanzong fled to Sichuan and was still in panic.One night he dreamed of a man of God, who said to him, "Don't go, Lushan will be destroyed." The man of God also said that the subject is Cui Ziyu, magistrate of Fuyang County, Cizhou.Later, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty returned to Beijing and granted Cui Ziyu the title of Marquis of Jiaying, the Holy Protector of the Kingdom.

Zong Ze was very angry, but in front of Zhao Gou, Zong Ze couldn't say much.

But when Zhao Gou and his party were about to leave Cuifu Jun Temple, Cizhou people were standing on both sides of the road outside the temple. They included soldiers and civilians. They held weapons and threatened to kill Wang Yun.

This time, when the people of Cizhou saw Wang Yun again, they all said to Zhao Gou, "Wang Yun has worked hard and carefully, and wants to dedicate the king to the emperor. It is better to raise an army if the king does not do it!"

But Zhao Huan didn't know what he was thinking, so he handed Zong Ze's memorial to Wang Yun.

After learning about this, the people of Cizhou, while exclaiming how lucky they were, blamed Wang Yunlai one after another. They all said: "The Qianjun didn't go south from Cizhou, why bother to clean up the wild? Take my grass and food, destroy my wall house, Wang Yun must be Work hard."

As a result, Zhao Gou, Wang Yun and the others arrived in Huazhou without any danger, and then took a boat to Junzhou.

It is said that when Wang Boyan was preparing for the imperial examination at home in the early years, Wang Ben, the magistrate of Qimen County, took a fancy to Wang Boyan, and then specially built an academy called "Yingcai Pavilion" to invite Wang Boyan to be a teacher, and even brought his nephew Qin Hui from Nanjing to Qimen. , worship Wang Boyan as a teacher.Moreover, it is rumored that when Qin Hui was studying in the Hall of Excellence, someone predicted that "Qishan is a small city, and there are two prime ministers in one academy."

At that time, Wang Yun felt that the Gan army might go south, and suggested that Zongze strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and not leave a single grain or horse grass for the Gan army.

Wang Boyan, the magistrate of Xiangzhou, learned that Zhao Gou was going to meet Li Cunyi to make peace, and immediately led his troops ten miles to meet Zhao Gou, and then protected Zhao Gou to enter Xiangzhou City.

Besides Zhao Gou, the chief envoy Wang Yun was beaten to death by Cizhou people, and the letter of credence and the imperial edict ceding Hebei and Hedong were lost. Even if Zhao Gou wanted to see Li Cun again, he couldn't do it.

To the surprise of Zhao Huan and the ministers of Zhao Song Dynasty, a group of people suddenly came to Bianliang City in Tokyo the next day. The rout was not the army of the Dagan Dynasty at all.

His elder brother Wang Ji served as the editor of the Right Talking Division, and was demoted for commenting on Tong Guan Cai Jing's fault.

——At this time, Li Cundu had already reached the Gyeonggi area, and it was meaningless to send a large army to guard the southern army, but it was certainly not as important as defending Bianliang City in Tokyo.

After Zhao Gou, Wang Yun and his party left Xiangzhou, they did not immediately go south to meet Li Cun, but continued north to Cizhou.

Zhao Huan was shocked, and quickly ordered to close all the gates of Bianliang City in Tokyo, and the Song army and officials in the city immediately boarded the city wall to meet the enemy.

Now that the Zhao Song Dynasty was in trouble, Zhao Huan wanted Zhao Gou to ask this very magical Cui Fujun to bless the Zhao Song Dynasty to tide over the difficulties.

When the people of Cizhou heard about this, they were all angry.

When Wang Yun was on a mission last time, he had contact with Zong Ze.

You know, if the Yellow River is frozen, then the last natural barrier of Bianliang City in Tokyo will be gone. In that case, what will the Zhao Song Dynasty use to resist the invasion of the Gan army?

Zhao Gou said: "I am ordered to go forward, and I dare not stop in the middle way."

But after the wax book was sent out, Wang Boyan was still worried.

After Zhao Gou read Wang Boyan's wax book, he immediately decided to leave the terrible place of Cizhou overnight and go to Xiangzhou to seek refuge.

When Zong Ze heard this, he replied: "The soldiers are usually in the mountain village, not nearby. If the enemy comes, they will be summoned. It doesn't cost money or food."

Thinking of this, Zhao Huan's teeth itch with hatred.

This made Zhao Huanjun and his ministers have to believe, and they were a little at a loss.

At this time, Zhao Gou and his party had a sense of security.

At midnight, Zhao Gou and his party quietly escaped from Cizhou.

But right now, Yue Fei is studying how to cut gold in Yuguan.

When the Cizhou people heard this, they happily surrounded Zhao Gou back to Cizhou.

Sure enough, two prime ministers, Qin Hui and Wang Boyan, came out of this academy.

In addition, some people took advantage of the fire to loot, loot treasures, and burn houses.

Wang Yun, Geng Yanxi, Gao Shize and others who were on an envoy with Zhao Gou also said: "Emperor Dagan has not crossed the river for a long time, and he will go on the same journey, and he will definitely catch up."

It turned out that before Zhao Gou left, Zhao Huan asked Zhao Gou to stop by Cizhou to inspect Zongze, to see if Zongze had 5000 soldiers as he said, and had fought against the Gan army many times, and achieved great success. Many victories?

As a result, Ma Gang and his party came back within three hours of going out and reported that all the defeated soldiers they encountered on the road said that the dry army had already begun to cross the river, and their 10,000+ army deployed by the Zhao and Song Dynasty to guard the Yellow River in the Heyang area All collapsed, and Li Hui and Zhe Yanzhi disappeared.

There is a Cui Fujun Temple in Cizhou, in which Cui Ziyu is enshrined.

In Li Cun's view, Zhao Paopao, who has a pair of good legs, is more troublesome than other royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Wang Boyan told Zhao Gou that Li Cun had already crossed the Yellow River, and urged Zhao Gou to stay and discuss how to rescue Bianliang City in Tokyo.

From then on, Wang Boyan began to be appreciated and reused by Zhao Gou.

This time, Zhao Huan, Tang Ke and other chief executives began to believe that the army had really crossed the natural danger of the Yellow River, and Bianliang City in Tokyo was in danger.

Zhao Ji also attached great importance to Cuifu Jun Temple, and he inscribed the plaques in the temple with the thin gold royal pen.

After Zhao Gou learned about this, he was taken aback. He felt that Cizhou was too dangerous, so he had to leave as soon as possible.

Zhao Huan and his ministers were really fooled. They heard that the people who crossed the Yellow River were actually the rout soldiers of the Xuanfu Division, not the dry army. They were all overjoyed and thought it was a false alarm.

After Geng Yanxi and Gao Shi walked out of Cuifu Jun Temple, they were checked by these people, and they were confirmed to be not Wang Yun before letting them go.

In fact, this is a very normal accusation by the main war party against the main peace faction.

Like Zong Ze, although Wang Boyan knew that Hebei was very dangerous, he still came to take office without hesitation.

Zhao Gou, Wang Yun and his party, who were charged with the important task of negotiating peace, did not stay in Junzhou, but went straight to Xiangzhou.

Historically, after the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou sent Liu Hui and others as envoys to the Kingdom of Jin.When Liu Hui traveled to Bianliang City in Tokyo, he couldn't stay there.Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan reported to Zhao Gou, asking Zhao Gou to issue an order to urge him to leave. Zhao Gou said with emotion: "I saw Liu Hui and others as envoys today. Ji Chi is like this, and I know Wang Yun is loyal. Going out of Beijing at a starry night, and going there at the same time, is rare and rare!"

The people in Bianliang City in Tokyo, mainly high-ranking officials and nobles, talked a lot after hearing the news. Some people moved their belongings from outside the city to Bianliang City in Tokyo in order to seek safety; Go far away to avoid the disaster of war.People come and go, bustling, supporting the old and the young, endlessly.

Not long after leaving Cizhou City, Zhao Gou and his party met Liu Hao's department who came to meet them.

I don't know if Zhao Gou, Wang Yun and the others were lucky. There were quite a few soldiers crossing the river at this time, but none of them encountered them.

After taking Zhao Gou back to Cizhou City, Zong Ze said: "The Qian army has already crossed the river, and negotiating peace is only a way to slow down the troops. How can the king go to throw himself into the trap again? Please don't do it!"

Not long ago, Wang Boyan presented "Ten Strategies for Hebei Frontier Defense" to Zhao Huan, which was very in line with Zhao Huan's wishes, so Zhao Huan promoted Wang Boyan to be a direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion and Zhixiangzhou.

Later, because Wang Yun's father was a conservative official, he was dismissed by Cai Jing, and Wang Yun was implicated and dismissed from office.

Afterwards, Zong Ze might have been angry at Wang Yun's humiliation, and said: "Wang Yun is afraid that it is really hard work, and tomorrow he will send King Kang to Qianting to ask for credit and reward."

After Wang Boyan became a Jinshi, he started his family and became the master of An. He successively served as the doctor of Zhongfeng, the master of ceremonies of the founding of the government, Cao Shi, and the general as the young supervisor. He was highly valued by Zhao Ji.

Wang Boyan's move made Zhao Gou feel good about him.

Wang Boyan felt that Zhao Gou was in a very dangerous situation, and he had to warn Zhao Gou.

This dispelled the haze in Zhao Gou's heart.

The old boatman who carried Zhao Gou, Wang Yun and the others across the Yellow River looked at the ice on the Yellow River and said leisurely: "This year's weather is extremely cold, I'm afraid the Yellow River will freeze."

Li Cun has even thought about it, as long as Zhao Gou is captured by the people he sent, he will find an excuse to kill or disable Zhao Gou, a guy he hates so much.

After Zhao Gou arrived in Xiangzhou, he immediately wrote a memorial to Zhao Huan. The general idea is: the ministers were ordered to meet with Emperor Dagan to negotiate a peace. , Hedong's edict does not allow the ministers to go to discuss peace, and the ministers heard that the enemy soldiers had crossed south, so the ministers returned to Xiangzhou and waited for the holy order.

Afterwards, Zhao Gou sent someone to bring his memorial back to Bianliang City in Tokyo to ask Zhao Huan for instructions, what should they do next?
At the same time, the Cizhou people, including Zong Ze, did not know that Zhao Gou and his party escaped from Cizhou overnight, and they did not appreciate their kindness at all, and they did not know anything about it...
