Chapter Ninety-Five: It's Hard to Fade
Originally, the fights between the nomadic tribes were commonplace, and the spoils of the victors were the golden silk children of the defeated side, and this kind of thing was a matter of course, and no one would hide it for such a thing. The Jurchens have been holding it for so long, and when they get impatient, they finally have some meaning to reveal their true form, and they no longer pretend to be warm and affectionate, and their naked predatory nature has been exposed.
The emperor's ceremonial guard, the queen mother's chariot, the queen's, the prince's, the civil and military officials' rituals, ritual instruments, ritual scriptures, ritual diagrams, musical instruments, etc., and even the antique cultural relics such as Wen Wangqin, Nuwa Sheng, and Confucius crown are also in the scope of the request, and even the music book, movement, sacrificial vessels, Jiuding Gui, armillary sphere, bronze man, carved leakage, antiquities, royal library collections, images of ancient sages, four-character pictures of the imperial city palace, the Tianxia Prefecture Gonggong, the Song Dynasty Collection, the book of Yin and Yang medical divination, all articles and classics, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoist classics are all in the list to be requested, In particular, he named and asked Su Dongpo and several people for Mobao, but he abandoned Wang Anshi's articles and poems.
The officials of Kaifeng Prefecture are all officials, once these redundant officials work, the collective wisdom bursts out, and the efficiency is still extremely high, they know the greedy nature of the small people, so they issued an order to allow the small people to denounce, but if they sit down, they will be rewarded with 3,000 yuan. In order to complete the task, they did not hesitate to put down their figures, went deep into the grassroots, rummaged through the houses to find valuable things, and searched for women with a slight appearance.
The Jurchens asked for the inner palace maids, the female disciples of the neighborhood, and the powerful families called for women, and declared that those with poor character were not within the scope of the request. Xu Bingzhe adheres to the will of the Jurchens and tries his best to please the Jin people, and the strength of wagging his tail and begging for mercy can be said to have never seen the ancients before, and he does not know whether there is anyone who will come later. In order to be in full. This guy did not hesitate to put his wife and daughter with heavy makeup and light makeup, and presented it to the golden people.
In order to further monitor the dynamics of the Song monarch in the city, the Jin people sent envoys into the city. This time they didn't go to stay in the capital pavilion again. Instead, he stayed in the provincial ministries and even the court, and he was completely a master. But they didn't completely drive the Song court officials out of the city, but they just felt that they couldn't complete such a difficult task with their own ability, so they made use of these ready-made minions, and they only needed to wield a big stick every day to make them obedient and dedicated, and they didn't need to pay a penny!
The officials of the Great Song Dynasty in Bianjing City not only helped to abuse the people, but they all fought bravely and competed for the first place, and it was inevitable that "personal vendetta in the communiqué" and "pointing to the deer as a horse" would happen. Filling your pockets is even more of a stretch. Although Xu Bingzhe eats people and does not do personnel, he is still an official of the Song Dynasty on the surface, and this behavior is a bit of a suspicion of acting as a tiger and eating inside and out.
And those Song officials and others who surrendered to the Jurchens did not hesitate to betray their masters for glory and rebelled against their masters. As a senior eunuch, he knew everything in the inner palace in Bianliang City, and when he saw that the Jurchens were only interested in the children of the golden silk, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, so he actively offered advice. Give advice, if you use shamelessness to describe this guy, I feel that I can't do it.
With the full cooperation of the Song court's chamberlains and courtiers, the forbidden army in the city served as a servant and carried it for three days. I haven't been able to empty them all. Song Banjun had a daily salary, and a large amount of income was enough to make their family have no worries about food and clothing. Every day, the Song court provided grain and rice, and according to the season, there were clothes. Originally, I wanted to rely on this army to resist foreign aggression and defend the borders. But these forbidden troops failed to live up to everyone's high expectations in the battle to defend the city.
These pampered forbidden soldiers were also lawless, but they didn't even dare to fart in front of the Jurchens. He worked as a stevedore every day, but he was not paid a penny. The low-brow and the eyes are all in the form of a "filial son and grandson". Now that the city is also broken, as soldiers have given up resistance and have been sent to serve as servants, the province has been idle and has regenerated some incidents, which has added to the blockage of the officials, but what do they think about facing the enemy every day, do they also want to appear in front of them as victors...
Besides, Emperor Zhao Ji lived in Longde Palace in the past, and his son was filial and never told him those troubles, so that he was ignorant of the Jurchens going south until the siege of the city. It wasn't until after the city was broken that he was urgently taken to the Ouchi Imperial City by his son, and he knew that the situation in the road had been corrupted.
In the past, there was a son, Zhao Ji could hide in Longde Palace, and it was none of his business to hang high. Now the son is in the golden camp outside the city, and although the grandson is in charge of the country, he is a doll of a few years old, and he has not yet been weaned, how to deal with military affairs. As a last resort, he had to go to the front of the stage from behind the scenes, and sent a decree to the princes and emperors in the capital, asking them to pool their money so that the emperor could redeem him.
It is an ordinary people's family, and there will inevitably be stumbles in the family, right and wrong, not to mention the royal family, which is known as the 'first in the world', of course, there are more intrigues and deceit. Although there are not a few people who are looking forward to the death of this unlucky Zhao Huan in their hearts, now that Emperor Daojun has spoken, the prince, the emperor, and the clan relatives have to endure the pain and ruin their wealth.
At this time, the princes and grandsons who are qualified to touch the imperial power are all envious of Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, who is outside the capital, although he lives in fear every day, but none of them are prepared for what will happen in the future, and they do not even think of the possibility of finishing the eggs under the nest, and they have not yet found a way to escape!
Under the leadership of the Emperor Taishang, at this time, there was another fundraising climax in Beijing, and the royal one was urged to pay by Zhao Ji; The two governments, the ruling government, and the Kaifeng government are supervised and implemented by the Yushitai; The high-ranking officials of the Inner Chamber and the Privy Council were supervised by the officials of the Kaifeng Prefecture and the four walls of the capital, and each level of officials was the supervisor and the supervised.
This can be said to be a layer-by-layer signing responsibility system, the task is broken down layer by layer, implemented to the individual, and the task is not completed to the individual, and the one-vote veto system is completely implemented. There is no one or place in the capital who has escaped this catastrophe, and those who feel sorry for money and silk are likely to end up with both people and money. Now, it seems that the solution to the millions of soldiers and civilians in the capital can only pray to the heavens in addition to hoping for the Jurchens to be magnanimous, and the heavens have mercy...
The Tai students in the city gathered again and exerted their appeal, but not to call on the army and the people to resist the tyranny of the imperial court and defend against foreign enemies. Instead, everyone knelt outside the Nanxun Gate to write to Zong Han, saying, 'Now that the gold and silver have been received, begging to return the king's chariot'. The Jurchen had never seen this scene before, but it was rare to see it. However, the officials of the Song court were frightened, and hurriedly stopped them, and announced to the city soldiers and people that if there was any more matter of submitting a letter, they would first send the letter to the Privy Council and ask the officials of the Privy Council to forward it on their behalf.
After waiting for a few days without moving, the students collectively read the book again, and hundreds of people sent the recital to the Privy Council, and then asked the Jurchens to return it to the official house. After the letter was written, the officials of the Privy Council ignored it, and the people who wrote the book probably felt that it was not very reliable to expect them to pass it on, so they scattered helplessly.
But one of them was unwilling, and went straight to Nanxunmen, pretending to donate money to meet Zong Han. The Jurchens really believed it and brought him to Zong Han. As soon as the two met, the scholar questioned and accused Zong Han of being untrustworthy and reckless. A scholar dared to tease him, Zong Han was furious, and ordered him to be killed with a stick.
It is a pity that although this scribe has the sincerity to serve the country, it is a pity that he is a scholar, and he goes to tell the invaders what kind of benevolence and righteousness, and wants to influence them with the gift of a saint! But he doesn't know the way at all, all the rules and principles between heaven and earth are not conventional, but established by the strong, and often change with his joy and anger, and it is not easy to reason with the Jurchens and seek skin with the tiger, I just hope that those who are not dead can learn something from it!
But there are also people who die for the country and the king, but this person is a martial artist who has always been despised by the scholars - Liu Ju. Zhao Huan returned from Beijing for the first time, and Liu Tao was appointed as a land official to go to Hebei and Hedong, but he was different in that the Jurchens asked him to leave the city by name, and the other envoys were sent by the Song court himself.
As soon as Liu Tao arrived in Jinying, he was placed under house arrest, where he ate and drank well every day, and was accompanied by a special person. It turned out that the Jurchens had heard of Liu Tao's official reputation, and knew that he was very talented, so they wanted to persuade him to surrender to Jin. Liu Tao did not obey, and the Jurchens were also very patient, knowing that if the way of governing the country was to the best of the minions, where would there be long-term peace and stability. It can be seen that the Jurchens are not stupid, the minions of Zhilu Dao are unreliable, and Zhilu Dao chooses good talents.
On the day when Zhao Huan entered the Jin camp for the second time, the Jin people told him unmistakably that Zhao Huan went out of the city this time, and the Jin people had decided to abolish him and set up a different surname as the king, Liu Tao just wanted to be a loyal minister of the Zhao family, and it was impossible for Liu Yi to be a loyal minister of the Zhao family, so it was better to follow the Jin people, and from then on he would be glorious and rich, and glorify his ancestors. When Liu Tao heard this, he pretended to say that he would think about it and answer carefully, returned to the prison, and told Zhao Huan's situation and the Jurchens' plans to Song Chen, who was imprisoned together.
Liu Ju then left a suicide note and changed clothes in the bath, hanged himself, and calmly martyred the country. Realized the highest ideal of a courtier, loyal to the country. He chose to refuse to cooperate with the Jurchens, and preserved the courtiers by hanging himself, telling the world that the highest state of martial arts was not to die in battle, but the state affairs were like this, and there was only death. The Jin people not only buried him, but also erected a monument for the record...
But the death of a loyal minister could not wake up tens of millions of people, and millions of soldiers and civilians were like evil spirits, frightened and demented, led by the nose by the Jurchens, and kept silent and indifferent to them left and right to tease and insult. Although there are also Li Bao and other righteous people, but they are still in a hurry to behead, it seems that it is best to be a slave to do it together, if there is a strange appearance, there is no need for the master to do it, the slaves will rush up, kill it and sacrifice it in front of people.
And this kind of cowardice and servility are extremely hereditary, traitors are repeated appearances, endless generations, and are still immortal today, although they did not use knives and guns, but they also tried their best to advocate for the 'foreign masters', waving the flag and shouting, and being willing to be a pawn!
