The deathly silence of the imperial study, no one dared to say a word, Song Huizong patted the case and said: "Li Qing is really my loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty, what you said is not bad at all, I know, for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, I will never be attached to the throne, so I will pass on the crown prince and abdicate to be the emperor." Wu Min, you serve as a servant and assist the prince. ”

Song Huizong really didn't love the country, so he agreed so easily, Cai You and the others suddenly showed joy, as Song Huizong's companion, they could leave Bianliang in a high-sounding manner; Wu Min was shocked and said: "Since the minister is giving advice to the saint, he should be happy from His Majesty." Your Majesty and the throne will be passed on, and the minister will not be promoted, how dare the minister?"

Song Huizong said with a smile: "Wu Qing, you can encourage the prime ministers to oppose my edict, what else don't you dare, the prince needs a skilled person like you, Li Gang and the seed master are too upright, Wu Min and Liang Shicheng are planning to pass on the edict." ”

The crown prince Zhao Huan anxiously knelt down with Li Gang and said, "Father, the son has no such intention. ”

Song Huizong got up from the dragon chair kindly, helped Zhao Huan up and said: "Father understands that you are a filial child, but as Li Qing said, for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, I should abdicate and you should ascend the throne, you and I father and son are all open-minded people, and there is no need to be suspicious of each other like Tang Xuanzong." ”

Song Huizong's words were affectionate and serious, Tong Guan and the others couldn't help nodding, and praised Song Huizong's father and son; but Zhao Huan burst into tears, just refused to agree at will, Li Gang didn't expect such a situation, the emperor who originally thought that he would be furious was as good as a stream, and the prince Zhao Huan, who should be happy, was extremely sad. Li Bangyan, Wu Min and others knew the joints, and they didn't want to say a word at the moment, hoping that Zhao Huan had pushed forward his plan to succeed to the throne.

He Su hurriedly ran in and reported the latest battle report to the monarch and ministers, the Jin soldiers had crossed the Yellow River, He Guan 30,000 horses and Wanyan Zongfu were not in a good position, He Guan retreated to Bianliang with less than 20,000 people, and the military supplies were lost; Song Huizong fell to the ground all of a sudden, and suddenly fell unconscious, and when the ministers called the imperial doctor to wake up, Song Huizong said that he was haggard, and directly asked for paper and pen, and wrote the edict of abdication in his own handwriting.

Song Huizong's approach made Zhao Huan no longer able to shirk, and watched Cai You and others put on dragon robes for themselves, crowded in front of the dragon chair and sat down, and the ministers knelt down to pay respects; Zhao Huan was extremely nervous in the main hall, although he had been involved in political affairs, but now that the battle situation was so erosive, Zhao Huan didn't know what would happen to him.

Song Qinzong's first sentence was to ask: "What do you think of today's affairs?"

Seed Master Dao was the first minister to come out: "The Jurchen doesn't know the art of war, how can there be a reason for a lone army to go deep into other people's territory and retreat smoothly?"

Song Qinzong said: "It is better to make peace. ”

Considering that it was the first time that Song Qinzong appeared in front of the ministers, Li Gang endured this thought; the seed master was very old, and when he returned to Beijing this time, he was sick again, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hold out until the end of the whole war, so he said: "The minister serves His Majesty with military affairs, and other things are not things that the minister dares to understand, and everything is based on the meaning of the saint." Weichen recommended a general, Yao Gu's adopted son Yao Pingzhong. ”

Zhao Huan knew this person, Yao Pingzhong was eighteen years old and the Western Xia army fought in the Zangdi River, killed fifteen Western Xia generals in a row, and did not deal with Tong Guan, Guanzhong Haojie called Yao Pingzhong "Little Taiwei". When pacifying Fangla, Yao Pingzhong's credit was the greatest in the whole army, but unfortunately when he met Tong Guan, he made a suggestion: "I don't want to be rewarded, I only want to see the emperor." ”

Tong Guan was even more jealous of Yao Pingzhong because of this, and other generals Wang Yuan and Liu Guangshi were all summoned by the emperor, but only Yao Pingzhong was not summoned;

The seed master arched his hand and said: "Yao Pingzhong is in the forbidden army in the west of Luoyang, if the saint is willing, the minister will transfer Yao Pingzhong's 3,000 men and horses to Bianliang." ”

On the way to Bianliang, the two stayed in Yao Pingzhong's military camp for one night, and there were many similarities between the two people's views on the battle situation, in the eyes of the planter, Yao Pingzhong seemed to be another Yang Zhi; Yao Pingzhong's men and horses were in Luoyang, but they were actually at the junction of Kaifeng Mansion and Henan Mansion, and they could arrive at Bianliang in one day and one night. Song Huizong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately asked the seed master to mobilize this army, and then asked Wu Min to travel to various places, asking the state capitals to be the king of Qin, and appointing Tong Guan to stay in Tokyo.

Song Qinzong's intention of Zhao Huan is obvious, he wants Tong Guan to serve as this false name, Tong Guan is one of Song Huizong's most trusted ministers, and there is such a strong force as Shengjie Army in his hands, since Zhao Huan succeeded to the throne, Tong Guan will not be allowed to control this team again; Zhao Huan also has an intention, that is, once Li Gang really can't hold Bianliang, he just takes Tong Guan out to raise the teacher and ask for guilt.

Tong Guan is not a fool, of course he saw that Song Huizong was just to escape from Bianliang, and it is difficult to say whether Song Huizong was willing, and the Shengjie army was composed of teenagers recruited by Tong Guan on the western border, and now there are nearly 10,000 people loyal to Tong Guan, Tong Guan usually treats these 10,000 people as a pro-army, guarding his residence, thinking twice, he decided to let this army follow him and follow Song Huizong to the south.

When Song Huizong traveled with Empress Zheng and some concubines in the harem, and when the large group of people and horses built a pontoon bridge and went out of the city, the people of each yamen and the army guarding followed closely, some climbed on the bridge, some complained, and some cried, for fear of being left behind. Tong Guan was afraid that he would delay the trip by walking slowly, and was caught up by the Jin army outside the city, and ordered the pro-army around him to shoot arrows to clear the people who blocked the block, and more than 100 people were killed by arrows;

Song Qinzong's other appointment also failed, he drove out Wang Hao, appointed Li Bangyan as the envoy of the Longde Palace, and moved to Dazai, but Li Bangyan knew that the court and the central government were divided, and the external troubles were approaching, so Fu Shu was not ordered, and he only begged to stay in the palace and did not want to care about anything. Only Li Gang and Seed Master Dao were busy, and the Jin army's rangers and scouts began to appear outside the city.

Most of He Guan's army was an infantry army, and he did not have the iron cavalry of Yan Zongfu to fight quickly, so he had to turn back again and again to fight with the Jin army, and the road of more than 100 miles was fought for two days, and another Jin army actually arrived at the city of Bianliang before He Guan, and the defenders did not dare to open the door, and He Guan's troops became a lone army outside the city. He Guan didn't know that there was a panic in the city, and the Emperor Zhao Ji had already left with Cai You, Xu Zhichang and others, so he could only fight to the death with his back to the city wall.

When the two sides fought fiercely under the city, the bigwigs of the DPRK and the central government and the crown prince Zhao Huan went to the city to watch, and they were all shocked by the strength of the Jin soldiers; the Song army fought hard for three days, and the whole army was annihilated, and He Guan and his eldest son He Ji were killed in battle.
