The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 449 National Celebration

Twenty years ago, the Jurchens went south to conquer Bianjing twice. The two emperors rushed north, thousands of royal families moved north, hundreds of thousands of people were captured to Liaodong, Zhang Bangchang usurped the throne and became emperor, and the Song Dynasty was on the verge of destroying the country. In times of crisis,

The second prince Zhao Qi, who escaped from the northwest, came out again and led his troops to sweep the Central Plains to repel the Jurchens. He was ordered to ascend the throne to the emperor with an imperial edict, eliminated the fake Chu and sentenced Zhang Bangchang to death, quelled civil strife, reorganized the country, revived the country, and created a great

Another prosperous era in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Qiong also changed the rules of holding celebrations with frugality and low-keyness over the years. In addition to mobilizing all publicity tools to spread widely, he also allocated special funds from the inner government for expenses. For a time, the city of Bianjing was decorated with lights and colorful colors, and the Aoshan was high.

The emperor issued an order to celebrate and gamble with the people for ten days. All government offices will have holidays from August 13 to 23rd. On the 20th, the grand military parade was held, and fireworks were released on the shore of Jinming Lake in the evening. The Same-Shistorical Book of State issued a public order and ordered the order

Celebration will be held in the Xijing Luoyang, Beijing Yanjing, Nanjing Yingtian and all the governments.

On the fifth day of August, Zhao Qi issued an amnesty order: pardon the sons of criminal officials who were exiled for surrendering to the enemy in the early years of Xingguo, and allowed them to return to their hometowns to participate in the imperial examination; pardon the Khitan, Bohai, Xi tribes and the Wei people who were captured during the war invasion of Song Dynasty.

The Han people who came from the country distributed travel expenses to those who returned home, and those who were willing to stay in the country would allocate land like the people of the Song Dynasty and give necessary means of production; they pardoned the rebellion that was exiled and imprisoned during the "Southeast Civil Rebellion" and allowed them to return to their hometowns to live, but

It is not allowed to enter the capital and participate in the imperial examination; it is not allowed to commit crimes of less than ten years of abdication, and the ten evil crimes will no longer be listed.

Three days later, Zhao Qiong issued an imperial edict twice, adding the titles of the three royal family kings and successor kings. In order to curb the increasing annual cost of the royal family, he changed the rule that all descendants of the royal family were granted titles in the past, and each family only had the title of the elders.

There are no special cases for the children of the department, and no longer have titles and officials for merit. The descendants of the royal family can enter the clan for free to receive education and participate in the imperial examination. However, they will no longer offer their own support after the ceremony and the ceremony, but they will make a living by themselves.

On the eighth day of the eighth month, the Secretariat issued a general order, that since the Emperor You opened the border, the generals who died in the battle for the country, the foreign army and the civilians all entered the Martyrs' temple to enjoy national memorial service, and the remaining tribes enjoyed the same pension, and those with the titles could choose their children to inherit the titles.

; After the regaining of the land in Hezhong, the generals and the foreign army participated in the regaining of the land in Hezhong were awarded the "Tuanbian" medal; the generals and the foreign army participated in the battle of restoring the country in Jingkang year and the foreign army won the "Yu Kou" medal; the generals and the foreign army participated in the regaining of the country in Xingguo year and the regaining of Yanyun after the regaining of the country in Xingguo year

, Dali, Gaochang, one of the previous battles such as the aid of Goryeo, expedition to Persia and the northern desert, was awarded the "National Protection" medal.

The emperor's edicts and the public orders of the monks' ministers were issued one after another, which really caused a thousand waves. The Emperor's Kaibian in the past can be said to be the starting point for the decline of the Song Dynasty. After several defeats, more than 300,000 soldiers were lost. From then on, the Song Dynasty

The army was in a slump, and the martyred generals not only tried to appease, but were punished and became a scapegoat for the emperor and courtiers to get rid of their responsibilities, so they were widely criticized. The emperor now issued an order to move all their spiritual positions into the Martyrs' Temple.

In disguise, it was the responsibility of the royal family to use troops rashly back then and had nothing to do with the thousands of soldiers who died. This courage to correct the mistakes of our ancestors was impressed by the world.

In order to show off his martial arts during the Zhenghe period, Zhao Ji used troops to Xixia again, but he was defeated first and then defeated. Under Gao Qiu's "operation", those who had made contributions did not receive pensions or rewards. Instead, those who left their posts without permission and fled to the wind were promoted and promoted.

Later, Gao Qiu encouraged Zhao Ji to join forces with Jin to destroy Liao in the struggle, which led to a great disaster. Although Zhao Huan killed him after he ascended the throne, no one dared to mention the incident that year. Although the culprit was dead, the rebellion of the Supreme Emperor is still there.

Zhao Qi was able to do this to wipe his father's butt and also comforted the participants at that time.

The Bian Jing guards, which were later called the "War of the Imperial Bandits" by the emperor and the subsequent battle to expel the Jurchens. There were many participants in the old imperial guards, the emperor's Northwest Army and the General Office of King Kang's army, and the local area

The army of kings and countless brave men. However, the results were very different. Some people died in battle for the country and entered the Martyrs' temple to enjoy the tribute forever. Some died in the internal struggle of the transfer of power, some treasons and surrendered to the enemy. Some were also those who became bandits and were wiped out.

More people returned to their hometowns after the war and returned to the nameless.

Now the general order does not treat those with different endings differently. All participants in the war were qualified to award medals. This decision made the people of the court and the people feel the broad mind of the emperor again, so that everyone can understand that although there are differences in merits and demerits, they only need to be

Those who once fought for the country and the people will not forget them and will still give them the reputation they deserve. This also marks the end of the battle over the throne since Jingkang, and the reconciliation between various forces and the royal family.

As for the 'Protection of the Country', it consists of a series of battles, all led by the reorganized new imperial guards and the current emperor. These battles not only played a decisive role in the revival of the Song Dynasty and the development of foreign trade, but also won the Song Dynasty.

After twenty years of peaceful environment, the country's status and national pride have greatly improved, and have become a truly great country. The achievements of these achievements are all due to the sacrifices of the soldiers who have accompanied the emperor for many years. They have achieved such merits.

Be convinced!

As soon as the order was released, everyone was talking about it, and they didn't know where the gossip came out, saying that in the past, the emperor rewarded meritorious ministers and issued iron vouchers to avoid death, which would keep the family safe for generations. Now the Chai family still has the Taizu of the year.

The iron vouchers provided them with wealth and peace for generations. Now the medals awarded by the emperor have this function. Those who get one can be exempted from imprisonment once, those who get two can be protected from family once, and those who get three can be punished unless they commit ten evil crimes.

All can be forgiven.

In the ears of these rumors, they felt that this matter was extraordinary. The award of medals was only for rewarding merits, and they were all to improve the morale and sense of honor of the people and the army. If the function of pardon was added to the outside world, this would be obtained by the authoritative function of pardon.

There are many medals, more than ten thousand, which may make some lucky people do evil without fear. Wouldn't that go against the original intention? So they went to the palace to meet the emperor and asked to clarify the matter, but Zhao Qi listened

But I laughed and didn't agree, leaving everyone confused, and the clarification was naturally gone.

In the next few days, Xunbao specially published a special edition to publish memories and commemorative articles from witnesses of the Jingkang Incident. Now Xunbao is not only an exclusive reading for officials, wealthy families and scholars, but it is at a low price.

And popular and practicality have won the love of all classes of the Song Dynasty. People who are literate at home usually buy one, so it has become the main and important channel for spreading information in the Song Dynasty. Now newspapers have published many articles about the events of that year.

The blood-crying text once again aroused the hatred that people gradually forgot, and remembered the disasters and shames that the Jurchens brought to the Song Dynasty.

Some scholars have also begun to contribute, expressing their anger in various forms of works while warning everyone not to forget the national humiliation. The evildoers were still there and were still staring at the Song Dynasty with fierce eyes. They are ready to go south to the Central Plains again and invade us.

Territory, plunder our wealth, and enslave our people. Don’t forget the disasters our enemies have brought to us just because the peace between the two countries is still there, and don’t forget the shame because of the rich and peaceful life now...

A few days later, the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming. The emperor invited members of the royal family, old ministers, soldiers and representatives of various industries who had experienced the Jingkang Incident, to climb Xuanhe Tower to watch the moon and watch the song and dance. Of course, the former emperor Zhao Huan and the Supreme Emperor declined the invitation. They are now really

It was because of the mistakes he made back then. When facing the bright moon, everyone recalled the past, and wept and cried. When talking about the cruelty of the Jurchens, the city of Bianjing in the bloody rain, the corpses in the wild, and the sad traveler...

...It has become unforgettable memories for them in their lives!

On August 18th, Zhao Qi led his ministers to the Martyrs' Temple and the Memorial Garden for the Breaking Martyrs' Monument to pay homage to him personally, posthumously conferred Liu Li, Ouyang Xun, Li Ruoshui and other court officials, and wrote a plaque 'Don't forget the national humiliation', ordering

People hung on the main hall of the Martyrs' Temple to warn future generations. They personally awarded merits to Li Gang, Zhang Su and others who participated in the Battle of Bian Jing that year.

On August 20th, twenty years ago, Zhao Qi led a powerful army in hundreds of battles, returned to Bianjing with the power of the defeated Jurchens, and became the king of a country. Revisiting history, Zhao Qi Qi led his army to the city to read the school outside Shangqiu Gate.

The three armies, but today the scene was much bigger, and there were the generals of the imperial guards, as well as the martial arts halls, the state and the township soldiers. There were no less than tens of thousands of spectators coming from all over the place, which made the road run out of nowhere.

When the emperor's Huangluo umbrella appeared on the top of the city, a long live sound like thunder sounded!

At night, there were crowds of people by the Jinming Lake. The fireworks that kept rising into the sky illuminated the night sky and also illuminated the smiling faces of the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother on the stage. The current prosperous age shows that the decision they made twenty years ago was extremely correct.

Under the extremely difficult circumstances of the year, my son not only saved the country, but also realized the revival of the Song Dynasty. His civil and military achievements were not inferior to those of Taizu and Taizong. They could meet the ancestors with peace of mind.

In an inconspicuous corner, two old men with white hair looked at the high emperor, and even the colorful fireworks could not make them look at each other. They showed a gratifying smile on their faces, and they worked hard to raise and teach them in the past.

It was not in vain that naughty and intelligent little prince has become the lord of the world who governed the country and billions of people, and the wise ruler who created the unparalleled achievements...

August 22nd, this was the last day of the slap. People were taking the opportunity to try their luck. A group of people suddenly appeared on the most prosperous Maxing Street in the capital, and a group of servants dressed up shouted.

The little boy was surrounded by a middle-aged man. They were carrying large bags and small bags in their hands, and they were full of their arms. Several long poles were tall with the gifts they were welcomed. Obviously, they were very lucky.

"What's the hell? Is it popular to look for people who help grandpa as servants in the capital this year?" Looking at the group of cheerful people, people couldn't help but look at each other with confusion... (To be continued...)
