The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Heaven fulfills one's wish, and in the evening, a message will be heard, and the official family will be back to the city soon!

After learning the good news, all the soldiers and common people in the city were happy and rushed to tell each other, and they all hurriedly watched. The sound of the mountain shouting loudly shook the world. When Zhao Huan appeared at the city gate on his horse in the afterglow of the sunset, the Song people couldn't help but cry with joy.

, They all bowed to the ground and shouted long live, and looked at the dust and bowed. Some people cried with joy, and some even let out sad voices, tears flowing. Many of the people who kowtowed to see the emperor so close for the first time in their lives, looking at the official family.

He seemed to look tired and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He pushed himself to others, and after the city was broken, the common people lived a very difficult life, so the emperor probably did it boring!

But the excitement and joy in my heart had already dispelled the hunger and cold at this time. Zhao Huan rode his horse and the people followed him one after another. The bolder commoner rushed to Zhao Huan's horse, holding a whip and leading the horse to him, and in front of him,

Huhou hugged and walked towards the inner city. The scholars and commoners on both sides of the road, including old men with white hair and children in the corner of the world, respectfully scooping up soil with their hands to cushion the road. After a while, Zhao

A smooth road leading to the palace appeared in front of Huan.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Huan was grateful. Compared with the unreasonable and arrogant Jurchens, the enthusiasm of the scholars and common people in the city really touched him. He couldn't help but his nose was sore and his eyes were red. At this time, he felt like he was suffering from it outside.

The bullied child was re-entered into the mother's arms, and two lines of tears finally burst out from their eyes unstoppable. They had no taste in eating these days, and they were restless. They lived in fear all the time, endured humiliation and suffered all the humiliation. Now they suddenly

It feels like rebirth!

The official family was crying sadly and sadly. The people around him felt sad when they heard it, and all the people were infected with him were crying. The five Jin people who accompanied him were also amazed when they saw Zhao Huan so popular with the people.

It's still unforgettable. The people of the Song Dynasty were so easy to fool. No subject came forward to question why Emperor Zhao had what happened today. What's the use of the country and family, the wife and children separated, and crying loudly...

When he saw the students who came to welcome him, Zhao Huan could no longer suppress the grief in his heart. He burst into tears and cried loudly when he saw the king covering his face. The people in the city were even more sad and sad. There was a cry in the city. Zhao Huan sobbed.

: "The Prime Minister mislead my father and son!" Until this time, Zhao Huan still did not reflect or reflect on himself, and it seemed that he had the ending of today. He had nothing to do with his father and son, and these important ministers and prime ministers were all the poor work. Fortunately,

, No one cares about who should take responsibility in such an occasion.

But these people who do not care about hunger and coldness do not know that this "Nine Five Lord" who rode on a horse and looked at five or six people, had also worshipped and danced under the knees of the golden man to beg for sorrow.

Subjects, don’t know if they have ever been depressed and angry in their hearts? If they don’t know shame in difficulties and then rise up bravely, they will sink in difficulties and eventually fall into the abyss that will never be restored. This is true for a person and a country!

Unfortunately, they have long been accustomed to being Shunmin. In the past three days and two nights, people have stood all the way from Nanxun Gate in the outer city to Xuande Gate in the palace. Countless people burned incense and prayed, and some even lit their heads and arms begged God.

The emperor returned safely and brought back the good news of the successful peace talks. Now the emperor has finally returned, and the peace talks have finally succeeded. Although people know that the success of peace talks comes from the cost of betraying the people, after all, a catastrophe has finally escaped.

Zhang Shuye, Sun Fu and other ministers knelt in front of Zhao Huanma and cried in silence. Zhao Huan also covered his face and sobbed. The ministers and guards on both sides were speechless. The group sobbed all the way to the Xuande Gate of the Palace. Zhao Huan was just now

He shouted to the people: "I almost couldn't meet you!" When the people heard this, they burst into tears, and the Śrāvakas were far and wide.

At this moment, from the important officials of the court to the people in the capital, they felt like they were reborn! Zhao Huan felt a little sad. Fortunately, he did not follow Jiang Xuan and Li Fu at that time, otherwise it would be a lot of danger. He used his own life.

He went to the Jin camp in danger, but he was not frightened in vain. He finally reached a peace agreement with the Jurchens.

The Jurchens were quite polite to him. Although the two Jin marshals did not greet him in person, they personally sent him out of the camp. Not only did they not detain him, they also sent the third prince to protect the Zhao family's imperial tomb in Xijing, and there were no gifts he gave him.

Instead, sending a few Jin people to escort him back, which is quite good. Zhao Huan was still secretly happy that he was living. It is a pity that the courage of the blood and qi in the blood of the Zhao family has been in peace for more than a hundred years.

It was worn out in the long river...

As soon as he returned to the palace, Zhao Heng received a report from Kaifeng Prefecture: In the past two days, only a few Jin soldiers secretly went down to the city to rob the people and plunder women. Most of the people who did evil in the capital were the collapse of the Song Dynasty.

The soldiers and the rogues in the capital. Some of these people took advantage of the chaos to rob money women, while others disguise themselves as Jin soldiers and murder and set fire.

The five Yueyang Deguan, Baozhen Palace, Yunqi Bridge, Mingda Empress House, Meng Changling House, Shenweiying, and Lan Congxi House were all set on fire by these people. Many wealthy families in the capital were looted, the most important

The poor people whose houses were burned were slept in the streets in heavy snow and cried in the cold and cold. Some of the women used dust to paint their faces, some used knives to cut their faces and some were raped and hung up after being raped.

Died from the water!

So Zhao Huan summoned all the ministers to discuss overnight, and everyone agreed that the situation in the city should be stabilized first. At night, the illegal people in the city began to rob and kill people everywhere. Kaifeng Prefecture and the imperial troupes were dispatched urgently to capture and kill these evil thieves. The next day,

Early in the morning, he ordered the more than a thousand thieves caught to be killed in public. Rows of bound robbers were pressed on the snow, and sharp swords were cut down one by one, making people's heads roll around. Only then did the city

It's temporarily settled.

Zhao Huan seemed to feel that he had surrendered his words, and he had knocked his head, and he had admitted his mistakes, so the matter was basically the same. He could not blame him for everything, after all, he was still young, and he was the surrender of a country.

He had no experience, and he had never expected that his trip to Qingcheng was safe and sound, just the beginning of his life's nightmare...

That night, Jin Shuai Wulibu sent someone to send a letter. Zhao Huan opened it and saw: "The Song and Jin countries were originally allies, but unexpectedly they reached the point of meeting each other, which is really shocking.

The two countries have been harmonious, and the past should be done without any consequences. Now King Kang is in Hebei, can he send a minister to call King Kang back to Beijing? What does the holy thought?”

This letter reminded Zhao Huan that King Kang Zhao Gou was still opening the Grand Marshal's Mansion in Hebei. He still didn't know the peace talks. If he raised an army to fight against the Jin army, wouldn't he ruin the peace talks that had just been negotiated?

It is necessary to send someone to deliver a letter to him as soon as possible, so that he must not act rashly.

Zhao Huan immediately summoned all the ministers to discuss the matter. Some ministers suggested not to recall King Kang back to Tokyo, and ordered him to command Hebei troops and move them to a place near Tokyo, so that he should not act rashly or be careless. If Jin Shuai was sincere,

The peace talks were discussed, and King Kang did not fight with the Jin soldiers. If the peace talks were not broken, if the Jin general had recurrence in the future, King Kang would be stationed near the land, and it would be of great use between the rush and the emergency. Then the sender came back and said that he had not found King Kang.

I was evasive for a while, and Zhao Huan thought about it, so he acted as such.

Then he discussed who to send a letter to King Kang. Privy Councilor Cao Fu took the initiative to take on this position. Zhao Huan immediately asked someone to reply to Wanyan Wulibu's messenger and sent ministers to call back King Kang tomorrow. At the same time, he prepared two copies for Cao Fu.

The edict, a clear order for King Kang Zhao Gou to disband his troops and return to Beijing quickly, and another secretly sewed into Cao Fu's clothes.

Just after arranging Cao Fu's affairs, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom arrived again and conveyed the first request after Zonghan's peace talks: According to the terms negotiated by the two countries two years ago, the Song Dynasty should give the Jin Kingdom 10,000 mules and horses as compensation.

It has not been paid yet. Please don't break your trust again and immediately pay it. Zhao Huan immediately agreed and ordered Kaifeng Prefecture to issue the list: each official in Beijing can only keep one horse, and all the soldiers and people will be given within three days.

To Kaifeng Prefecture, if there are those who dare to hide and retain them, the whole family will be engaged in military law, and will report the hidden and retain them to reward 3,000 guan.

On February 6, Zonghan asked Zhao Huan to issue an edict to confiscate the civilian weapons on the grounds of helping to maintain order in the capital and prevent civil strife. When the city of Tokyo was captured, weapons were abandoned by the defeated soldiers and were all over the place.

Pick it away and hide it at home. If the defeated soldiers and illegal civilians were allowed to collect weapons, they would be afraid that they would not be able to stop doing evil things in the capital. Zhao Huan obeyed his wishes, confiscated the weapons, and handed them over to the Jinzhan Camp.

On February 9th, Zonghan asked Zhao Huan to borrow some grain, rice, wine and fruit to reward the army. He knew very well that the capital was already in serious shortage of food, so he didn't speak much, as long as one thousand stones of rice and wheat were each. Zhao Huan dared not

He refused. He immediately sent some extremely precious food in the capital. Although the amount required was not met, he seemed to be very tolerant and did not care much about it...

………

Zhao Huan burned incense and prayed every day in the palace, praying for the mercy of God and the blessing of his ancestors. He made a pious wish that as long as the Song Dynasty could survive this disaster safely, he would definitely work diligently to govern the country in the future, work diligently and love the people, and be open-minded.

, Strive to avoid arrogance and extravagance!

But the Jurchens could not hear Zhao Huan's prayer, but tightened the noose in their hands step by step. After basically disarming the Bianjing city, they sent an envoy to send a letter asking the Emperor of Song to fully

The agreement reached last invasion of the south was fulfilled, and the affidavit said in black and white that it would pay 5 million taels of gold, 50 million taels of silver, 10,000 cattle and horses, and 1 million satin. It also cedes the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian.

.

Zhao Qi didn't want to give it to him from the bottom of his heart, but he had no ability to resist under such circumstances. However, he still summoned all the important officials in the court to discuss the matter. In fact, it was just to find a fig leaf for himself. Speaking of which, everyone agreed.

, use this to escape the responsibility of losing land.

When things got to this point, what could everyone say? I quickly gave the Jin envoy an echo, using the Minister of the Secretariat Chen Guoting and the Defensive Envoy Zhe Yanzhi as the cemetery, and immediately left Beijing to handle the cemetery of the two rivers.

More than thirty ministers took Zhao Huan's edict to cede the land and went to various prefectures and counties, and passed the edict to the local officials, ordering them to stop resisting and open the door to offer the city.

But the Jin envoy was not grateful. He believed that among the guardians of the Two Rivers, there were people who were lucky enough to disobey orders. The Prime Minister, Marshal Zong Han, meant that the family of the guardians of the Two Rivers could be temporarily sent to the military camp to be divided.

After the earth was completed, he was sent back. When Zhao Jie and the king and minister heard this, they all looked solemn, and they were both angry and helpless, so they could only agree!

On the tenth day, Zhao Huan issued an edict, selecting Ouyang Xun and 36 other imperial officials to Hedong, and various prefectures and counties in Hebei to issue edicts to handle the cemetery of land. Kaifeng Prefecture gathered the families of the guards from all over the country to send them to Jinchang as hostages. The edict ordered Gang to

Next, Ouyang Xun immediately wrote a letter to protest the issue - the size of his ancestors should not be with others, and asked Zhao Huan to summon the ministers to discuss it again immediately.

"In the face of national crisis, we should order the guards from all over the country to fight with Jin troops. Even if they lose their territory and lose their territory, they can still be recovered with confidence in the future. Now they will cede the land without fighting and want to regain their territory in the future. Wouldn't they be accused by the Jin people of being traitorous again?" Ouyang Xun

Kneeling in front of Zhao Huan, he felt heartbroken and cried out in tears.

Zhao Huan burst into tears when he heard this: "Don't I know how to cede the country's territory to others, and how good is there to see my ancestors? My move is really out of no choice!"

"The two rivers are indeed not cede, but the Zhao clan society and the millions of creatures in the capital are in danger. Which one is more important? Now it's hard to find peace between the two countries. No more..." Prime Minister He Li, who was standing beside him, advised him.

.

"As a prime minister, you are a prime minister, and you have a rude plan and a lack of military control, which leads to the loss of the capital. How can you stand in the court? You are not enough to apologize. You dare to sell your ancestors' land?"

When Ouyang Xun heard He Li speak, the blue veins on his forehead suddenly swelled up and he yelled at He Li.

"Stop quarrel!" Zhao Huan screamed in anger, with a shrill crying voice in his voice: "Since I ascended the throne, the country has been suffering internally and externally for a day. What is my crime? I have been punished by God! You and others ask themselves, who will I do, who will I do?

Can you help me and the country solve problems? Do not cede land. What other plans can you withdraw the Jin soldiers? Am I willing to bear this eternal infamy?"

After hearing this, the ministers knelt down one by one. They all knew that today's disaster actually started with his father Zhao Ji. The twenty-year-old Zhao Huan had been sleeping day by night since the first day of his ascension, but

Just can't turn the world up...

Zhao Huan sobbed for a while and said to Ouyang Xun: "You have no choice but to withdraw the Jin soldiers. Then set off immediately. After this catastrophe of the country, you will assist me in striving to govern and enrich the country and strengthen the army..." Having said this,

, there was already sobbing.

On the 11th and 12th, Chen Guoting, the Minister of the Secretariat, Zhe Yanzhi, and Ouyang Xun, thirty-six envoys of all sizes and sizes, went out of the capital one after another. Their position was called "Cecenary Envoy". The emperor of the Song Dynasty

He made the Hedong and the Hebei prefectures and counties put down their weapons and surrendered. This was another step in Wanyan Nianhan's plan. He also sent troops to follow dozens of cede land envoys of the Song Dynasty to various places to deliver cities.

The worst thing is that the families of those guards, the men, women, young and hundreds of people were tied under the corridor with ropes, and the cold wind whistled day and night blew them trembling. Sometimes they were given food and sometimes they were not given. They were given very little.

They were hungry all over; of course there would be no bedding. When they were sleepy, the whole family would squeeze together and sit on the ground and take a nap.

The sound of hunger and cold crying has been going on for days. They dare not expect to be released. They only hope that the emperor can ask for the two generals of the Jin Kingdom, even if they can lock them up in a sheltered place, how many hot they can be given every day.

It’s good to drink water! But this is already a luxury. The emperor can’t care about their life or death now...

The emperor Zhao Huan, whom they betrayed, has been busy plundering gold, silver and silk these days. Wanyan Nianhan has asked the envoy to bring a message to Zhao Huan: If you can't pay as much gold and silk, then you can go down to the city and let the army go to the city

The soldiers went to take it themselves. The people in the capital who seemed to be reborn were in panic again, and the order in Tokyo was difficult to maintain.

People are the swordsmanship, and I am the fish. Zhao Huan and his ministers were helpless at this time. Zhao Huan issued three consecutive edicts to the Gencuo gold and silver. The meaning of Gencuo can be understood as a thorough plunder. Mei, the Minister of Revenue, held the rituals and Cheng, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Wen, Minister of Rites An Fu, Minister of Works Chen Zhizhi was appointed as the chief official of the four walls of the southeast, west and north. The edict reads:

"The Great Jin army has broken through the outer city, but it cannot save troops, protect the country of the Song Dynasty, and live a whole city of creatures. It is said that the Great Jin army is very kind. It is a blessing for the great Jin army to sleep in the open and work hard for a long time. What's more, all the property of the public and private capital in the capital today,

It is already all over the country. The officials and civilians in the capital should do their best to reward the Jin army. The national treasury has now been presented to the army, but they feel that the number is too small and not enough to be sufficient. All relatives in the capital

The powerful and wealthy families in the village were all re-created by the Dajin. Starting from the empress, righteousness should do its best to do its best to be stingy. Now, it is ordered that Kaifeng Prefecture detain the property and transfer it to the Dajin Army. Anyone who can take the lead in rewarding the army with all his money

, Kaifeng Prefecture reports that the court can reward official titles; if there are those who hide and fail to communicate, it will cause this dynasty to lose faith in the Dajin, and it should be dealt with by military law. If there are those who hide money in wealthy families, their slaves will be allowed to report..."

Zhao Huan's ministers responded to the Jurchens' requests, but they did not see the mystery. All of this was a sinister and meticulous plan that Zong Han was implementing. Zong Han knew that the conditions should be raised one by one, if he asked Zhao Huan to do it at once.

Cut off foreign aid, hand over horses, weapons, food, and treasury, which will definitely force Zhao Huan to fight to the death. Every time he put forward a condition, Zhao Huan always feels that he just gritted his teeth and agreed.

This last condition will pass.

So Zhao Huan compromised and gave in again and again. He was afraid of destroying the peace agreement and recalling Zhao Gou, so he first cut off foreign aid himself; now he handed over the horses, and he had no ability to break through and became a veritable turtle in the jar; then handed over the weapons,

It greatly reduces the lethality of street fighting; now it has handed over some of the food, and soon the military and civilians in Tokyo will be completely defeated by hunger and lose their final ability to resist!

But Zhao Huan, the king and his ministers didn't know that the only result of their concessions every time was that they had to make greater concessions next time until there was no way out. Now, except for King Kang Zhao Gou, everything has fallen into the design of the Jurchen people.

In the middle, everything is developing in the direction that Zong Han expected. As the water temperature rises, the frog in Dasong will be cooked by him sooner or later! (To be continued.)
