Chapter 4 Chapter Four: Judgment Day

At noon, the ceremony ended, and the Song Dynasty officially became a vassal state of the Jin Kingdom.After the size was determined, the Jurchens seemed to be in a good mood, and Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang set out food and drinks to eat with the new employees. During the banquet, Zhao Huan presented specially brought gifts, including sixteen dans of gold and silver, fifty bolts of silk, two gold belts, two jade belts, and several ingots of gold hooves from the inner palace.These add up to a lot of value, but unfortunately what they got in return was a half-hearted ridicule. Wanyan Zonghan said: "Since the city is broken, I own everyone and everything. When the emperor comes, what's the use of discussing big things?" Even your life is mine. What are you doing with these things?

I have learned a lot!Every time I see this scene, I am amazed that a Jurchen who grew up in the deep mountains and old forests, after ten years of life as a bandit, can see things so thoroughly. Next, they talked about major events, such as sending people to the Lianghe area to take over the city again, calling Zhao Gou back to Beijing to abolish his title of Grand Marshal, and rewarding the army. Zhao Huan agreed to all of these, and the Jurchen was satisfied and sent him back to the city.From a distance, he saw Kaifeng City and the subjects who had been standing on the edge of the city waiting for him to come back.Only then did he feel the pain and humiliation. He covered his face with his sleeve and wept bitterly: "The prime minister misunderstood my father and son!"

He felt that He Li had lied to him and misled him, but he still hadn't realized the truth that "people should humiliate themselves, and others can humiliate them".Has he forgotten what he has done? At this time, it was too late to say anything.Three days later, the catastrophe of Kaifeng City officially came, and the Jurchens searched everything. The first is the horses.The Jin army wanted 10,000 good horses.Xiao Qing issued an order through the Kaifeng Mansion to register everyone below the royal horse. Anyone who dares to hide will be punished by military law to encourage informers. Those who inform will be rewarded with three thousand guan.After that, he confiscated all the weapons in the city, plus 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, 20 million horses of silk, and 1,500 young girls. The strength of the decree was the same as that of horses.

Wanting money but also land, Xiao Qing ordered the Song Dynasty to send envoys to cede land to various cities in Hedong and Hebei to declare their surrender.Among these people are Chen Guoting, Zhe Yanzhi, and Ouyang Xun. As soon as these people left, the family members of the defenders in the Lianghe area were arrested. If they obeyed and surrendered, the whole family would survive; if they resisted, the whole family would be killed. After that, for unknown reasons, Jin Jun suddenly became interested in the six thieves and ordered the Kaifeng Mansion to hand over the families of 20 treacherous officials, including Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Wang Fu.Ordinarily, Zhao Huan should agree to this point. He killed the six thieves, but he really couldn't hand it over.

Families of treacherous ministers were dispatched to the south in batches a few days ago, and there were almost none in the capital city. No... Jin Jun ordered Kaifeng Mansion to hand over the families of Li Gang, Cai Jing, Zhe Yanzhi and others.This time it really did.Therefore, the Kaifeng government arrested people according to the roster, and handed over all of them to Jinying. Is good and evil really rewarded?Is the world really fair? This is just one ten-thousandth of the tragic history of the whole nation, just a small wave in a sea of ​​suffering.What happened next revealed the truth of this world—the strong prey on the weak.

The Jurchens asked for money, 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, and 20 million bolts of silk.This price tag is exactly double the price tag during the last Tokyo defense war.In just over half a year, how can we make up enough?The people have already run out of oil and their lamps are dry.Song Ting focused on the relatives and rich people while searching. For a feudal dynasty, doing this was tantamount to cutting their own roots, but they couldn't care less. In order to survive, Zhao Huan and others threw everything aside.Looking at the search efforts, Zhao Ji's wife, that is, Zhao Huan's nominal mother, the natal family of the Empress Dowager Zheng, hid a batch of gold and silk, but did not turn it in. It means canceling all titles and privileges and reducing them to civilians.

What about the rest of the dignitaries?They were handcuffed and handed over money one by one.It was even worse for those responsible for collecting money. They had a quota, and if they failed to find the specified amount within the specified time, they were also put on wooden shackles and locked in the downtown area to provide another service for the Jurchens. ——If you can’t get the money, that’s the end. After squeezing the rich and powerful, the Song Dynasty finally started to deal with the last bit of foundation of the country.Song Ting ordered all stocks in all firms in Beijing to be confiscated, regardless of the type; and ordered nearby states and counties, no matter what kind of business, as long as they had shipped goods in the capital, all property would be confiscated.

With this order, the Song Dynasty was over.Even if the Jurchens retreated and Song Ting survived by chance, there was no possibility of prosperity anymore.Commerce was the foundation of the Song Dynasty.The country's prosperity has never depended solely on agriculture. Song Ting's doing this can only be described in four words-killing chickens to get eggs. After robbing the merchants, the money is still not enough.Song Ting was so anxious that he couldn't think of anyone else to search for.In desperation, Song Ting suddenly had an idea, posted an imperial list, and publicly promoted his official position to the whole city.Official positions vary from big to small, and the price varies from high to low. If you are really not interested in secular fame, you can also choose to become a monk or a Taoist priest.

There is no limit to the number of degrees or something. What a great offer, but unfortunately, it has been hanging for ten days, and no one has paid for it... The officials were completely desperate, and they couldn't get it together anyway, so they had to bite the bullet and give the money and goods they found to the Jurchens first. Send it, and hope that the other party will not be too rough because of his serious work attitude. The Jurchens were not rude. They carefully inspected every piece of cloth and every ingot of silver, and they picked out many unqualified ones.Without further ado, change it immediately!

After the replacement, it was even more insufficient. Jin Bing was furious, and arrested four ministers in charge of the search, and beheaded them for public display.Next, Jin Bing beat the imperial historians Hu Shunzhi, Hu Tanglao and others several hundred times.After the beating, they found that Mr. Hu Tang's physical fitness was not up to standard and he was dead.After doing this, the Jurchen felt that the people of the Song Dynasty should go to work energetically, but unexpectedly, He Li, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, came running in person. He Li had no choice but to come. The city was about to be dug into the ground. If you have no money, you have no money. He was entrusted by the emperor and all the officials, and he had to negotiate the price with Jin Jun anyway to reduce the amount.

Wanyan Zonghan was furious, and personally taught the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty a lesson.He asked, did you also do the Song Dynasty to destroy the country? In the Southern Tang, Southern Han, Jinghu, Houshu, etc., which time did you destroy the city and kill people? For several years, we transported treasures from Chengdu to Kaifeng.Now that we have captured your capital, if we don't kill people or enter the city, is it too much to pay? He Li was speechless. The Prime Minister was deeply ashamed, and after returning to the city, he intensified the search efforts, starting with the officials first.Those who have not paid gold and silver under the head of the slaughter will make a list, look at the picture and talk, treat them equally, and pay the money.Can't hand it over?Put on the shackles and go to prison by yourself. As a result, people wearing official uniforms and wooden shackles formed a long line in Kaifeng... Even so, the money was still not enough. Time flies, 1126 AD is over, and the first day of the first month of the second year of Song Jingkang (1127 AD) has arrived.On this day, just as Zhao Huan got up, someone came to report that the Jin army entered the city and went straight to the palace! Zhao Huan was frightened and softened, this is a typical first month dunning debt.Unexpectedly, it was Wanyan Zonghan's son Wanyan Zhenzhu who came to pay New Year's greetings to Zhao Huan on behalf of his father and Dajin Kingdom... Song Dynasty, happy new year. Zhao Huan's happiness lasted until the ninth day of the first lunar month.On this day, the Jin people entered the city again to convey the orders of Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang.The emperor of the Kingdom of Jin was about to add an emblem. On such a grand day, Zhao Huan was required to be present. Jin Guo ordered Zhao Huan to go out of the city to meet each other. Zhao Huan was hesitating, Song Ting was also hesitating, it was good to be back last time, who knows what the consequences will be if we go again this time.But don't go, okay? ...The city gates are broken, and people use swords, how can they be wronged. The next day, Song Qinzong went out of the city.He had a bad premonition and seemed to know what fate awaited him. He brought a lot of people with him, including Zai Zhi, the Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple officials and other officials, and was protected by many guards, but he still felt lonely and desolate.At the city gate, tens of thousands of people came to see him off.The people held him by the shaft of his chariot and did not let him go out of the city.Zhao Huan is in tears, does he want to leave? At this time, a general of the forbidden army named Fan Qiong appeared.Remember this man!The man stood up and said to the people: "The emperor leaves the city in the morning and returns in the evening. Let go and let the emperor go." The common people were furious, this is talking nonsense to their faces, a real traitor and running dog!They scolded the lackey.The lackey drew out his knife and cut off the hands of the people on the shafts of the chariots. Outside the city, Zhao Huan met Zhang Shuye.Zhang Shuye grabbed Zhao Huan's horse's head and advised him to go back and never go to Jinying.Zhao Huan was even more sad. He said: "I am for the people. If I don't go, the Jin army will enter the city and kill people." Zhang Shuye fell to the ground crying bitterly. He was a soldier of the Song Dynasty, and he hated himself for neglecting his duty.In the midst of crying, Zhao Huan set off.Before leaving, he turned his head to the crowd, called Zhang Shuye's name, and said, "Ji Zhong works hard!" These four words were printed in Zhang Shuye's heart and determined his final fate.At this time, he couldn't distinguish and was unable to understand the true meaning of the word "hard work". Zhao Huan wanted him to go to labor camp as soon as possible, or wanted him to fight for a way out for the nation in the desperate situation of the Jin army destroying the country... All he knew was My heart is broken and I can't live anymore. Zhao Huan entered Jinying for the second time, and the treatment was worse than the last time.The two leaders of the Kingdom of Jin didn't see him at all. The preparation they made in Qingcheng was just a ceremony to receive the envoys from the feudal vassals. The Jurchens only allowed Zhao Huan to keep 300 guards and 17 top dignitaries, including nine princes including King Yun.Zai Zhi He Li, Feng Xie, Cao Fu, Hanlin scholars Wu Kai and Mo Yu, direct scholar Sun Zhi, Minister of Rites Tan Shiji, Taichang Shaoqing Wang Zao, these people lived separately in the other room of Qingcheng Zhai Palace. The west wing was left to Zhao Huan. There is no bed in this room, only a kang made of adobe, with two blankets on it, and two small benches in front of the kang, not even a table.During the day, Zhao Huan could walk freely in the fasting palace; at night, his door would be fastened with iron chains.A large group of golden soldiers surrounded the yard, lit a bonfire and held a party, eating and drinking noisy. Zhao Huan tried his best to endure this "nightmare", but he didn't know that he was adapting to a new life ahead of time. At this time, the vast majority of people in the Song Dynasty still didn't know what tricks the Jurchens were playing.Catch it, put it back, and call it out again. Why do you toss like this?Are the Jurchens playing games?No, that's not the case, everything serves the robbery.How can we squeeze out such a famous city through the ages without resorting to means? The first time Jin Guo transferred Zhao Huan out and put him back again was to let the emperor of the Song Dynasty squeeze his people, and they waited to collect money; Put psychological pressure on the Song people so that more money can be squeezed out. This time, the looting campaign in Kaifeng became more intense, and hundreds of thousands of citizens were killed.The Kaifeng Mansion stipulated that every five households would be one guarantor, and all valuables had to be handed over. If there was any concealment, the servants and servants could report it. As soon as this article came into force, everyone was in danger, and many people with hatred made false accusations against each other. There is still no money to be found in this way, and the Song people have done a super embarrassing thing.To sum up, the Song Dynasty's search for money from the common people was to extort money and damage the foundation, to search for the powerful was to dig up one's own roots, and to search for businessmen was to destroy the foundation of the country.After the search was over, they started to search Goulan Jiaofang, extorting money for cosmetics... It can be said that they are completely shameless if they want this kind of money. Going all out to do these things, the officials of the Song Dynasty didn't feel that there was anything wrong in their hearts, because they had a wish, and they wanted to use money to realize it-the hope that enough money could be collected so that the emperor could return to the city for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. A steady stream of money was sent to the gold camp, and Zhao Huan was looking forward to it every day.Soon the fifteenth day of the first lunar month arrived, and all the officials and subjects of the Song Dynasty stood outside the gate of Nanxun waiting for the emperor. A whole day passed without seeing Zhao Huan's chariots and horses returning. That day, Zhao Huan was at Liujiasi. It was the only happy garden within a thousand miles.Jin Jun has long heard of the Lantern Festival Lantern Night in Kaifeng City, Central Plains, and they are all in Kaifeng, how can they miss it?They transported the looted musicians and lanterns here, set up a banquet, sang and drank, and enjoyed the lanterns. The lights are similar year after year, so I am embarrassed at this moment. I don't know if Zhao Huan was sitting on pins and needles at that time? The first month passed, and Zhao Huan was still imprisoned in the gold camp.During this period of time, the search in Kaifeng City entered another stage.The money was gone, and the Jin army began to attack the cultural relics of the Song Dynasty. They removed the emperor's dharma, halogen books, ceremonial guards, ritual vessels, ritual objects, "Book of Rites", "Ritual Maps", Xuanjia, Jiaofang musical instruments, music books, sacrificial vessels, eight treasures, Jiuding, Yuangui, Zhengui, Armillary Sphere, Bronze Man, Carved Lou, Ancient Artifacts, Books in the Three Libraries of the Secret Pavilion, Jianben printing plates, portraits of ancient sages, Mingtang Biyong map, etc. If you want to make a list, it is difficult to list them all within 10,000 words. During the transportation process, Jin Jun specifically pointed out that it is the most important thing to bring Su Shi's anthology and Sima Guang's original copy.You understand, right? These two pieces are indeed the pinnacle of Song Dynasty literature, art, and historical research. How could a group of Jurchens who could not read big characters know about them?Obviously, there are moles! At this point, the city of Kaifeng was exhausted, and Zhao Huan had lost the meaning of existence.He himself was at a loss, but still hopeful. On the fifth day of February, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang invited him to play polo. On the polo field, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang were dressed in embroidered clothes, swaying freely across the field.Zhao Huanqiang smiled happily and stood on the sidelines, waiting for them to finish playing so that he could say what he had been holding back for almost a month. Finally, Wanyan Zonghan came to an end, Zhao Huan went up and said: "Before I stayed in the army for a long time, everyone was waiting, and I wanted to beg to return early." It's been a month, and I want to go home.When he said this, he felt that he was in good condition. Wanyan Zonghan was so knowledgeable, personable, and self-cultivated before, and he would agree to his reasonable request in all likelihood.To take a step back, even if you refuse, it will be very gentle. For example, if he is pleasing to the eye, stay a few more days and so on. Unexpectedly, Yan Zonghan suddenly changed his face, and shouted sharply: "Where are you going?" You can dream, where else do you want to go?The next day is the end of Zhao Huan and even the entire Song Dynasty, still want to go home? On the sixth day of February in the second year of Song Jingkang (AD 1127), Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang took Song Qinzong Zhao Huan into Qingcheng Village and ordered him to dismount and kneel to listen to the edict of the Kingdom of Jin. The imperial edict said that the Song Dynasty broke its trust and morality, and did all kinds of bad things internally and externally, and the Kingdom of Jin had to send troops to punish it.The Kingdom of Jin gave the Song Dynasty two opportunities to reform themselves, but they still kept making small moves.Now, they want to choose another sage to be a fan screen.In other words, end the rule of Zhao and Song, and change to be the emperor, and serve as a follower for the Kingdom of Jin. This imperial edict was hated by historians of all dynasties. They believed that Jin State turned black and white, did all kinds of bad things, destroyed the Song Dynasty, and poured dirty water on the Song Dynasty. It was really despicable, vicious, and shameless to the extreme.However, we have already learned in detail the whole process of the Song and Jin rivalries. Who is right and who is wrong, who is black and who is white, can we judge by who suffered? Song Dynasty, you asked for this. At this time, someone came up immediately, ready to strip off Zhao Huan's dragon robe.All the top ministers of the Song Dynasty who were present saw this situation and just watched.Are they freaked out?Or have you always been soft?No way of knowing.They saw the fingers of foreigners touching Zhao Huan's skirt, and the supreme Wancheng was about to be humiliated! A man rushed over, blocked Zhao Huan with his body, and scolded the golden man: "This thief is doing something reckless, this is the true emperor of the dynasty, you should not be rude!" Li Ruoshui, Minister of Rites.In a majestic trillion-dollar country, when the emperor was humiliated, only this one person stood up.After a short fight, he was knocked unconscious by Jin Jun and pulled out. He did not die, he was not killed on the spot by having his tongue cut off and his cheeks broken as recorded in the history books.He died half a month later. During this period, Wan Yan Zonghan personally summoned him, from his life to his parents, Xu official position, right and wrong, exhausted all kinds of tricks, trying to get him to surrender, but in return he was scolded again and again. Li Ruoshui was killed. He didn't die in a moment of anger, but because of his consistent integrity and loyalty, which made it impossible for him to survive in such a situation.His death reflected the ugliness and cowardice of almost everyone except him.He is so rare. In the Song Dynasty of more than three hundred years, there were only two civil servants like him. Every time I read history here, I always think, Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan, are you worthy of having a courtier like Li Ruoshui?Mr. Li, why are you bothering... does it worth? Li Ruoshui will face all doubts quietly.What he did was loyal to the emperor in front of him, and even more loyal to what the emperor represented.At this moment, no matter how stupid and stupid Zhao Huan is, he is a representative of the Han people and cannot be insulted by the invaders no matter what. Even if it is death, it must be stopped! When Li Ruoshui did this, many people made the same choice as him.In the far north, among the twenty envoys sent out before the Song Dynasty, there was a man named Ouyang Xun who was in charge of going to Shenzhou (now south of Shenxian County, Hebei) to surrender.Jin Bing was behind him, waiting for him to read the edict to the Song army on the city, so that they could enter the city and plunder. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Xun burst into tears and shouted to the city: "The court has been misled by treacherous ministers, so that it has come to this point today. I came here to die. You must work hard to protect yourself and serve the country loyally!" The people in the city watched helplessly as Ouyang Xun was escorted away by the golden soldiers.He was taken to Youzhou and burned alive.Ouyang Xun, whose courtesy name is Quanmei, was born in Panhu, Jinjiang, Quanzhou, and was the Minister of the Song Dynasty before his mission. There is also a man named Liu Kai, who is a veteran high-ranking official. The Jin people not only want him to open the city gate, but also want to accept him.He refused in every possible way, and finally looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, saying: "Is there such a thing as stealing life and serving two masters?" That night, he bathed and changed clothes, drank a glass of wine and hanged himself to death.Liu Kai, courtesy name Zhongyan, was born in Chong'an (now Wuyishan City, Fujian).At that time, he was the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei and Hedong. He was 60 years old when he died for his country. There are many such people. There is a Tai student named Xu Kui. He wrote to Jin Jun, asking them to release Zhao Huan.Wanyan Zonghan was furious, and sent troops to catch him in the camp, and debated with him face to face. The Jurchens feel that they are completely reasonable, can't they still win?The result was tragic, they lost.What Xu Kui told them was not only right and wrong, but also fair.Is it because others are a little stupid that you bully them?Or even a reason to bully an entire race? Wanyan Zonghan became angry and killed Xu Kui. All these things and these people have been ups and downs in the history of the Song Dynasty, and there are stars shining in the hearts of every Chinese.This is hope, and as long as this remains, a nation will never sink. However, none of these could save Zhao Huan's family. On the seventh day of February, Song Huizong Zhao Ji and his queens and concubines were escorted to Jinying.The escort is the aforementioned dog named Fan Qiong.The smart Zhao Ji knew what was waiting for him, and he didn't want to leave the palace at all, so he took out the medicinal wine and prepared to commit suicide. Fan Qiong knocked over the cup.If Zhao Ji died, his contributions would be gone, how could this work? On the eighth day of February, Fan Qiong escorted other members of the Song Dynasty royal family to Jinying.The workload is very heavy. There are two to three thousand people including princes, concubines, princes, grandsons, princesses, son-in-laws, and people with titles in the sixth palace.As a result, more dogs flocked.The list was provided by the eunuch Deng Shu, and the official document was approved by Xu Bingzhe, governor of Kaifeng.Fan Qiong led the soldiers to call and escort them one by one. On the ninth day of February, the Jin Army announced that it would abolish the Zhao family emperor and choose another "wise" person from among the Han people in the Central Plains to succeed him. On the tenth day of February, the Jin army ordered Song Qinzong Zhao Huan's queen and crown prince to leave the city.The queen has nothing to say, and when the country is subjugated, she is at the mercy of others.However, the crown prince is the last hope of the Song Dynasty, and someone wants to keep him. The privy secretary sent Sun Fu to find a man who looked very much like the prince, two eunuchs and a dozen death row prisoners. He killed them all and sent their bodies to Jinying.He said that the two eunuchs hijacked the prince and fled, and when there was a riot in the city, the prince was killed by mistake. Now he can only kill the rioter and send his head to prove it. Hope it works.Sadly, before the Jurchen could investigate, the inner ghost of the Song Dynasty stepped forward first. It was the dog named Fan Qiong.He commanded the rebellious soldiers and quickly found the prince.The next day, the prince was escorted out of the city together with the queen and princess. Hundreds of officials and Tai students stood guard in front of Nanxun's gate, and the carriage passed by them. The eleven-year-old prince bid farewell to them in the carriage. They vaguely heard the prince shouting "people save me", but the carriage drove away quickly. Out of the city... After leaving the city, a top minister followed beside the car. Sun Fu. He didn't have to go out of the city. Jin Jun didn't hold him accountable, and Fan Qiong also wanted to stop him at the city wall.The gatekeeper of the Jin army said: "The prince is what you want, why do you want to participate?" Sun Fu said: "I am a minister of the Song Dynasty, and I am the prince's master. I should die!" This is Sun Fu, the Sun Fu who believed in the gods and destroyed the city defense of Kaifeng, but refused to admit his mistakes; the Sun Fu who was loyal to his duty, tried his best to help protect the Song Dynasty, and died after his death. How should we evaluate him? In this way, the Zhao Song Dynasty was wiped out.If anyone slipped through the net, one was Zhao Gou who was far away in Xiangzhou; the other, no one could remember, was Song Zhezong's abolished Empress Meng. Meng's ups and downs with the struggle between the old and new parties.At this time, she lived in seclusion in a very remote private house. She lived in silence and was about to be forgotten by the world. After clearing all the blood of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, the Jin army's search operation entered the final stage - raising chickens and laying eggs.They can't move the huge city of Kaifeng away. If they want it to continue to create money, they must have a way of operating it. For example, set up a puppet. This puppet must be a Han Chinese, otherwise he doesn't know how to manage; he must be obedient, otherwise there will always be trouble.Candidates... Who should I choose?Such an important event, how can a dynasty be born, an emperor appear, and it must be selected from the best and carefully selected, right? no. No matter how versatile Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang are, no matter how great their achievements are, they know only a limited number of people from the Song Dynasty.In this regard, Wanyan Zonghan didn't find it difficult at all, he found a way if he could, and learned to slap his head if he couldn't.He really shot, and a way jumped out. Wanyan Zonghan gathered the ministers of the Song Dynasty and asked them to choose one by themselves.The ministers of the Song Dynasty in the Jinying looked at each other, with long-lost ferocity in their eyes—who would dare to choose me? Whoever is selected will become a traitor in the Song Dynasty, and will be heinous and will have a bad reputation for thousands of years. This kind of thing will be hard to get rid of even if it is death.So, the silence is over, Wanyan Zonghan is not in a hurry, can't he be chosen here?Well, you all go back to Kaifeng City.I don't care who you choose, if you can't choose, massacre the city! Many people were stunned by these two words, but one person suddenly smiled, it turned out to be like this... wonderful, really wonderful.This person is Song Qiyu, a foreigner of Shangshu, who returned to Kaifeng city with the flow of people.When all the officials gathered to choose this puppet, he wrote three words on his palm, and then quietly unfolded it for others to see. These three words are like a panacea, and the eyes of those who see it will immediately shine and feel refreshed.Troubles, entanglements, and dangers are gone, problems are solved, and a new emperor is chosen. Zhang Bangchang.All pass! At this time, who cares about who else, as long as the crime does not fall on his own head, the ancestors will be virtuous and the family will be lucky.As for poor Zhang Bangchang, who made him offend Song Qiyu in a certain event in a certain year and a certain month? Grandly introduce Zhang Bangchang.Zhang Bangchang, courtesy name Zineng, was born in Zhangjiawan, Dongguang (now Dalongwan, Dongguang County, Hebei Province), Yongjing Army.Born as a Jinshi, he was a magistrate when he was sent outside, and he went to Beijing to be a servant of Zhongshu.This kind of background can be said to be a bit prominent, but in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty where literati gathered, he was just an ordinary official. The terrible thing is that on the eve of the second defense of Tokyo, he floated up and became the young minister of the Qinzong Dynasty.This status made it impossible for him not to get involved with state affairs. He once went to Jinying with Zhao Gou and served as an envoy to cede land on Hebei Road. The unreasonable disaster suddenly fell down and landed on top of his head, and he was completely petrified.He is just a person who hides in the times. When the times are peaceful, he goes with the crowd and enjoys happiness. When the times are in danger, he follows the group with the largest number of people and shouts "surrender the land". He never thought of being the first bird! He cries, he makes trouble, he refuses, no matter what, he doesn't want to be raped by fate without warning.However, all Song Dynasty officials ignored him, and this group of former colleagues agreed that as long as he did not die, he would let him go.Wanyan Zonghan outside the city asked someone to bring a few words, driving him to a dead end. "Zhang, if you don't agree to be emperor, massacre the city; if you seek death and die, massacre the city." Is there such a thing as a bully?Zhang Bangchang wanted to cry but had no tears. He was a selfish person, but he really couldn't do such a thing while watching the whole city lose their heads because of him. He really didn't have the guts to do such a big thing! On the first day of March, Jin Bing surrounded Zhang Bangchang and entered the inner city. He showed with practical actions that he... obeyed.He complied, and it was said that everyone was happy. The officials of the Song Dynasty should applaud and sing to express their welcome, but unexpectedly, the crowd became even more angry. Sad Zhang Bangchang, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan have no grievances. The angry crowd was divided into two factions, one bright and the other dark.In terms of power and destructive comparison, the dark one should be mentioned first.Wu Ge, the commander of the Forbidden Army, is a pure anti-war faction. He once told Sun Fu during the prince incident that he would gather troops to protect the prince and fight out of the city.It's a pity that there are too few troops, and Sun Fu doesn't want to take risks.At this time, Zhang Bangchang was about to usurp the throne. He was so passionate that he decided to kill this national traitor at all costs. He contacted more than 50 military officers to fight together, and personally killed all the family members in advance to show his determination to die.But... why should he trust Fan Qiong?What had the dog been doing these days, hadn't he seen it? He actually pulled Fan Qiong into the organization. Fan Qiong led his troops to kill all of them. Ming's side is upright, Fan Qiong and others want to intervene, because they have no courage, and secondly, they have no reason, and they want to hide away from the bottom of their hearts, because they are the officials of the Great Song Dynasty. For more than 170 years, Fang Qiu has been reprimanded, a group of people who only recognize principles but not people, and even the emperor and empress have to supervise and manage them. This group of people jointly wrote a letter to Jin Guo, in which they reviewed how benevolent and benevolent Zhao Song was to the country for more than 170 years. Although the force was insufficient, it won the hearts of the people.With this kind of foundation, even if the country is lost, the dynasty will be re-established.On the other hand, Zhang Bangchang was analyzed in detail to let the Jurchen understand that even if an emperor is to be established, it cannot be this person. Shameless, not enough to smell! History remembers this group of people, they are a ray of flame flashing through the darkness, even if it is weak, they try their best to flicker.The eyes of the Song Dynasty people suddenly lit up, remembering the content of the letter and the person who wrote it. The leader of this group of people was taken away by the Jin army. His name was Qin Hui, who was then Yushi Zhongcheng. None of the above can stop the footsteps of history, that is, the pathetic Zhang Bangchang's footsteps towards the throne of the Golden Palace in Kaifeng City.On the seventh day of March in the second year of Song Jingkang (1127 A.D.), Zhang Bangchang became the emperor, and his country was named Dachu.That day, he cried when he went out, when he rode his horse, and when he entered the golden palace.The whole process was full of grievances, pain, fear, and shame, as if he was the most miserable person in the world. In my memory, every founding emperor was "sad" when he took office, and he cried a lot, but when it comes to tears from the heart, few people can surpass him. If I remember correctly, he seems to be the only emperor in China with the surname Zhang. As soon as Zhang Bangchang took office, he ushered in work.Money, all the actions of the Kingdom of Jin are because of money, the Song Dynasty was destroyed for money, and the Chu State was established for money.Now, please continue to search, newcomers must make a new look and get money out! Zhang Bangchang was furious. The grievances and grief for several days made him courageous, and he wrote a letter to Jin Jun.In his letter, he said that the city of Kaifeng had entered a state of extreme poverty. Even if the iron was turned into gold and silver, the houses were demolished, and the houses were flattened and turned into silk, there would be no money! The first time the master and servant talked about something, the master was pushed back.Ordinarily, the Jurchen must have exploded in anger, and would whip Zhang Bangchang severely; but unexpectedly, Yan Zonghan and others were very gentle, and they also knew that the city of Kaifeng was exhausted, and there was no room for squeezing. Well, retreat. Twenty days later, the Jin army, with unimaginable wealth and the world's most noble captives, formed a huge convoy and left the devastated city of Kaifeng. This swarm of locusts devoured the most affluent and beautiful capital in human history. Since then, Kaifeng has fallen into the dust of history and has never been able to restore its former splendor. On that day, Zhang Bangchang drove out of the city with the method of Tianzi Yiwei. He was completely naked, and led all the officials and common people to set up incense cases to send the emblem and Emperor Qin to the north.Nearly 3,000 phoenix descendants and grandchildren walked on foot, and what awaited them was a long-distance trek of nearly 1,000 kilometers.There's a lot going on on this trek, and they're the aftermath of an era's end, and one that should still be seen. Such as Zhao Ji. Along the way, he either rode a horse or took a car, and still enjoyed the so-called "highest treatment".Wanyan Zonghan invited him to hunt, during which he also met Guo Yaoshi.According to records, Guo Yaoshi was so ashamed that even Wanyan Zonghan said that this person was not loyal to Liao, not loyal to Song, and would not be loyal to Jin in the future. This seemed to exasperate Zhao Ji a little. Ha ha, right and wrong, how can such a comment be made.Guo Yaoshi, a native of Bohai who was wiped out by Liao, why should he be loyal to Liao?The Song Dynasty was unjust to Zhang Jue, so why should Guo Yaoshi be loyal?As for Jin, that is another story. Wanyan Zonghan asked Zhao Ji to write a poem, and even praised the famous thin gold calligraphy.Is this a compliment or a taunt?None of it matters.As a prisoner and slave, you have to do whatever you can.His talent and Wanyan Zonghan's praise are very similar to the superb actors singing a fancy tune, and the hosts below give some applause. There are many such things, and it is not very interesting to talk about them one by one.In contrast, there is a small matter that can better reflect Zhao Ji's state of mind at this time.When the country was in ruins and everything was in decline, someone reported to him that the outer city was broken, and he was indifferent; the people were poor, and starved to death in the deep winter, he was indifferent; Indifferent; a certain person was loyal and died under the knife and ax of the golden man, he was indifferent; his descendants were all captives, men were slaves, women were prostitutes, and became playthings of the enemy, he was still indifferent. Until it was said that his treasures were emptied by the Jin Army... He suddenly looked miserable, and he was in pain. Is this still a person? This kind of state of mind is very suitable for the life of a prisoner. As long as the leather whip is not whipped hard on his body, he will not feel pain.Zhao Ji was very calm on the way of escort, even if the men in his relatives died of freezing and starvation, he would not be moved; the women were insulted by the Jin army at will, but he turned a blind eye. At that time, he should really have given him a pen and a few pieces of paper.In this state of mind, he should be able to complete several masterpieces of magical realism. Zhao Huan was not so lucky. From the day he was liberated, he was forced to put on a green robe, a felt hat, ride a black horse, and follow the group of prisoners to the north.From the appearance, no one can see that he is an emperor.It was still daytime, and when the camp was set up in the evening, he, Qi Wang Zhao Xin, Prince Zhao Zhan and other relatives were gathered in a small tent, tied hands and feet, and imprisoned all night. Shame and humiliation, intolerable!In the extreme torment, Zhao Huan couldn't suppress his grief and anger. He looked up to the sky and howled. The emperor of the Son of Heaven, the one above ten thousand chariots, has been reduced to this level...Because of howling, he was also tied to a horse during the day.In this way, the young Qinzong went from Kaifeng to Zhengzhou, crossed the Yellow River from Gong County, arrived at Yunzhong, and then went to Yanshan, where he lived in Minzhong Temple.On July 12th, he arrived at Haotian Temple and met his father Zhao Ji by accident. After a hundred days, it seemed like a lifetime ago, the two hugged each other and cried, as if they had really been wronged by the heavens.It's a pity that the grievances haven't arrived yet, the journey of escort is extremely long, and they didn't arrive at their destination, Jinshangjing, until August of the following year. Here, they were stripped of their robes, worshiped at the ancestral temple of Jin Dynasty, and performed the ceremony of offering captives.Afterwards, Wanyan Wu begged to buy Zhao Ji as Duke of Hunde and Zhao Huan as Marquis of Chonghun, and sent more than 300 of their concubines to Huanyiyuan to wash clothes for Jinren. They were actually official prostitutes.The rest of the women were directly assigned to Jin Jun as sex slaves.The men were sent to the extreme north to serve hard labor. Many years later, many people died miserably, and even Zhao Ji couldn't bear the torture.One night, he cut his clothes into strips, tied them into ropes, and prepared to hang himself.However, he was discovered by Zhao Huan and rescued. Zhao Huan, he was too young, he was only twenty-seven years old when he was captured, and he had to endure this boundless pain for most of his time.How bitter is it?Many years later, his younger sister married a member of the Jin Kingdom's clan and gave birth to a son, which is a credit.金国特许他们兄妹见面，并且赏给赵桓几匹普通的帛布，赵桓竟然“喜惊交至，恩赉非常”，因为他已经穷困潦倒，连御寒的衣服都没有了。 被俘的人很多，除了这两位皇帝之外，还有两位女士、四个男人需要我们关注。两位女士的名字以后会随着时事的浮沉而出现，这时尚早。四个男人分别是：何栗、孙傅、张叔夜、秦桧。 这四个人是金国重点关注的对象，不是职务太高，比如何、孙；就是表现太好，比如张、秦。金国铁了心要把他们带到北方来，就近看管。就连张邦昌在离别前，亲自写信要求留下这几个人，金国都没答应。 何栗跟着大队人马往前走，经历了一切，到达金上京之后绝食而死。看结果，似乎很刚烈，义不屈节，宁可一死。但是细思量，他为何到了目的地才死，而且是绝食。一路上雨雪交加，如果他不努力挣扎的话，早就死了不知道多少回了，怎么能熬到终点站呢？ Incredible. 还有更不可思议的，比如前首相大人唐恪。唐恪骑着马逃出开封外城墙之后，沉寂了很长一段日子。城内事变之后，他在废宋立楚时跳了出来，抢在很多人、比如范琼之前，在推戴状上签了自己的名字，然后服毒自杀了。 还讲理吗？ 总得给个理由吧，你已经叛变宋朝了，大楚国等着你服务呢，怎么会突然间去寻死呢？这让俺很费解！ 孙傅死在何栗之后，到达金上京之后，又过了一年多，他死了。史料里没说他的死因，应该不是绝食之类的自杀。他是主动赴金的，想尽自己最后的力量保护皇太子赵湛。他之所以会死，应该是身心疲惫，无力支撑了吧。 张叔夜死得最早，离开开封城之后，他就不再吃饭，一直躺在车里，每天只喝一点水。直到有一天，驾车的人对他说，到界沟了。 就是当年宋、辽之间的界沟——白沟。 张叔夜突然站了起来，向四周张望，这是国界，他所要保护的人要离开国境了，从这一刻起，他的皇帝成了真正意义上的俘虏，再没有半点可能改变的机会……他失去了所有支撑他活下去的信念。 第二天，张叔夜死了，时年六十二岁。 秦桧是囚徒中的名人，他官职高，被俘时是言官之首；他名节高，明知事不可为，仍然为赵宋力争。如果不是现在还活着，那么，他的名望和李若水一样高。 李若水保护赵桓的身体、荣誉，秦桧为赵宋江山尽力。 更加引人注意的是他的年龄，秦桧这一年三十七岁，堪称年富力强。他的人生刚开始。这样的青葱岁月、锦绣前程，为了国家全都抛弃，还能找出比他更壮烈的人吗？ 于是，宋人感动，金人敬佩，谁都高看他一眼，比如赵佶在途中想和完颜宗翰说点事，也要通过他执笔润色。到了金上京之后，他被分配到金国大将完颜挞懒的手下做事，每天抄抄写写，并没有怎么受苦，也不必到冰天雪地里服劳役。 他的寿命很长，故事很多。他的一生充满了疑点和不确定性。这些都会随着时事的变幻而浮沉，是非真假，只能到哪一步说哪些事儿。 回到大楚国皇帝张邦昌的身上。这段日子，他过得很憋屈。赵家人走了，宋朝却没有消失，他仍然活在以前的环境里，一百七十余年的底蕴，每时每刻都压得他喘不过气来。实话实说，他从来没想过要取代赵宋，当什么大楚的开国之君。 他即位的当天，没敢进皇宫，而是从尚书省出发。宋朝三省，门下、尚书都在皇宫外办公，只有中书省设在皇宫内部。他升殿，不敢坐御床，只在御床的西边摆了个小椅子；他办公，不敢用皇帝专用词，将“朕”改为“予”，将“手诏”改为“手书”；他平时不穿龙袍，金人来了才穿上，走了立即脱下来。除了这些细节之外，大事更是一概省掉。 他不在正殿办公，不举行朝廷例会，不出来接见大臣。禁宫大内里所有门户都加锁封批，封条上写着“邦昌谨封”。 这哪是当皇帝，纯粹是个主人外出、看家护院的家丁。 他做完这些，仍然觉得心里没底。不仅他自己心虚，连手下人都拆他的台。怎么拆的，要先说一下金军对开封城的破坏以及对汉人的态度。 翻开靖康年间的历史，我们仿佛看到了一个人间地狱，尸体、残垣、抢劫、强奸，反正人世间能出现的罪恶丑陋都出现了。 女真人真野蛮！ 其实，这样说有些过头了。北宋末年的金军在历史中的残酷排行榜上只能居中等偏下，它的几大硬性指标都不过关，让真正的残暴者鄙视。 第一，他们自始至终没有进入开封城的内城，最里边的皇城更是边儿都没沾。所有的抢劫、抓人、搜刮等丑恶事件，都是金军提出任务，宋人根据要求完成的。 第二，他们杀的人太少，什么叫灭国屠城呢？远的不说，看看清朝，清军入关之后，“扬州十日”、“嘉定三屠”，每一次都是全城死光、遍地血池。和后代相比，这时的金军够得上“暴虐”二字吗？ 金军之所以这样“温和”，是由其态度决定的。女真人崛起只有十年左右，他们覆灭东亚最大的两个帝国，其管理难度早已超过极限。不说才能，光是派人管理，金国都没有那么多纯种女真人。现实要求他们，只能把宋朝打服了，当成长期的出租房吃租子。 尤其是完颜宗翰的心理在起作用。这个人很理智，甚至很睿智。他身上有一点完颜阿骨打的影子，天生就懂得怎样当个成功者。他知道女真人的优点在哪里，更明白他们的缺陷是什么，所以不那么贪婪，从来没想过把汉人的土地一口吞下去。 吞下去会胀死。 可惜的是，他的眼光太超前了，让绝大多数的女真同胞无法理解。他们内部有一些人愤怒得要死，觉得明明可以随意砍、随便杀嘛，为什么不利益最大化呢？完颜宗翰有异心，胳膊肘儿向外弯，不是个为国为民着想的好女真人！ 这个分歧造成了完颜宗翰的悲剧，造成了他的政治同盟者的悲剧。当然，反对者也没落着好。历史证明，只会打生打死的，都是些低级生物。 可是，不让这些女真人打架，他们还能干什么呢？ 完颜宗翰对汉人傀儡的支持很到位，临走前，他特意派人去问张邦昌：“为了你的统治，张，我是不是得给你留下一支女真军队？” 张邦昌没听到这句话，来人被大楚国新任宰相吕好问抢先接待了。吕宰相说，非常感谢，但是北方人不服南方水土，为贵军士卒着想，不必了。 该使者小感动了一下，接着又问：“那是不是给你们留下一位贝勒？有他在，南人不敢放肆。” 多体贴，可吕好问比他更会疼人，说：“贝勒是贵人，久居南方，万一思乡心切，会生病的……”于是，女真人全军撤退，走出去好远之后，张邦昌才知道有这回事。 知道又怎样，吕宰相平时写公文的时候，落款日期都是“靖康二年”，根本不提大楚国什么事。这就是张邦昌的群众基础。 一切迹象都逼着他变回原形。一个月之后，金军渡过黄河，回到了燕京附近，张邦昌知道是时候了。他宣布退位，先找到隐居在民间的孟太后，由她来垂帘听政，再通过她去选宋朝的新皇帝。 还选什么，唯一在逃的男丁不就只剩赵构一人了吗？直接选他不就对了。不，还有别人。宋朝立国一百七十多年，九个皇帝，每一代男丁都积极工作，生出了N多后代，怎么会只有赵构一个漏网之鱼呢？ 在这几十天里，有两位宗室出现过。一个是宋太祖赵匡胤的后裔，叫赵子崧；一个是宋太宗赵光义的子孙，叫赵叔向。他们各自招揽了一支班底，宣布自己是宋朝合法继承人。其中，赵叔向动作迅速，充分发挥了赵光义对皇位超级向往的遗传基因，他带了七千个士兵，杀到了开封城郊。 可惜，这些都是白费劲，继承权是有排列序号的，他们能躲过金军搜捕的原因，也就是失败的原因。因为事发时，他们都在城外很远很远的地方。一句话，他们是散得不能再散的边缘皇室，只要赵佶这支血脉的人没有死绝，他们就没有半点机会。 焦点向赵构汇聚，可是要找到他，就不太容易了。
