One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 491 Zhao Gou ascends the throne (3)

Someone also suggested to Zhang Bangchang: Since the Jin army has withdrawn, it can be pardoned. Zhang Bangchang asked Lu Haowen for his opinion, but Lu Haowen objected, saying: "The pardon letter travels five hundred miles a day. There are people outside the four walls now. Whoever wants to be pardoned can be taken by Kuang Gong Naiquan. We will wait for the restoration."

After Zhang Bangchang considered it, he finally decided to pardon him. On April , Zhang Bangchang issued a handwritten pardon to the world. The pardon text said: "The world has been at peace for a few two hundred years and the people are happy with their work. How could we know that the treacherous soldiers and treacherous ministers are leading the border and are in trouble, causing disasters and the city's defenses are not strong, which will lead to heirs?" Your Majesty, Yue is in the countryside.

If he returns it, he will be forced to do so. There was Yao and Shun who bowed and yielded, but there was no Tang and Wu who fought. If the four directions are so vast, it would take half a year to reach it; if the capital is so big, it would take three months to have no ruler. From Yi Kang Ji, the common people can be rescued from danger.

On the day when the letter arrives, the crime will not be serious and he will be released. The first item is to send officials to inspect the mausoleum. The second item is to visit Tianqing and Tianning temples in various states and still perform incense. The third item is that the military garrison ministers of various states will each send their troops to the nearby towns to protect them without any danger, and they will serve the same purpose. They will launch the troops of the King of Qin and return to the original settlement. The fourth item is to save the money for all clans and clans, and pardon the rest as before. "

Zhang Bangchang's insistence on the amnesty had two purposes: to explain to the world that he was forced to ascend the throne, and to hope that King Qin's troops would not come to Beijing.

At this time, the army of King Qin in the world was gradually approaching. In order to prevent lawless people in the city from taking the opportunity to cause chaos, at noon that day, the Shangshu Province announced: Fan Shangshu and Zhao Zizheng were leading troops in Nanjing, and sent advance commander Wang Yuan to Que to discuss matters, and no one was allowed to disturb the city.

Lu Haowen had always been very clear-headed. He suggested to Zhang Bangchang: "Today, the first person to welcome Queen Yuanyou is to let people know that the world has been returned to the Zhao family, and to quickly ask the generalissimo to take over the throne as soon as possible to prevent the crazy enemy's plan." .”

Zhang Bangchang accepted the suggestion and asked Lu Haowenma to invite Queen Yuanyou. Lu Haowen said, "I can't say anything anymore. If Gong Ke writes a handwritten letter from the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty, and asks Meng Zhonghou, brother of Empress Yuanyou, to go and invite her, then the world will be settled."

Empress Yuanyoumeng was the first empress of Song Zhezong. She is the empress dowager Gao, the grandmother of Song Zhezong, who personally selected the queen for Zhezong from more than a hundred candidates. Empress Dowager Gao said to the ministers: "Meng's wife can handle women's rites, so he should be in the middle palace."

However, Song Zhezong did not like Meng. After the death of Empress Dowager Gao, Emperor Zhezong of the Song Dynasty took charge personally and tried his best to get rid of the influence of his grandmother, Empress Dowager Gao. Therefore, Empress Meng was deposed and lived in Yaohua Palace, with the titles of "Huayang Leader" and "Yuqing Miaojing Immortal Master". The name is "Chongzhen".

When Huizong of the Song Dynasty first succeeded to the throne, he listened to the affairs behind the curtain behind the curtain of the Empress Dowager. Meng's family turned around and was resettled. Because she was granted the title of Queen during the Yuanyou period, she was called Queen Yuanyou. However, the good times did not last long. In the first year of Chongning, when he was demoted to the Yuanyou party, Meng was implicated again and was deposed for the second time. He returned to the Yaohua Palace and was given the title of "Xiwei Yuanzhong and Miaojing Immortal Master".

In the early years of Jingkang, due to a fire in Yaohua Palace, Meng first moved to Yanning Palace. Later, Yanning Palace caught fire again, so he walked out of the palace and lived in a private house in front of Xiangguo Temple.

Entrusted by Zhang Bangchang, Meng Zhonghou came to the front street of Xiangguo Temple, found the residence of Queen Yuanyou, and explained his purpose to her. But Queen Yuanyou did not agree at first and refused to enter the palace. It wasn't until Meng Zhonghou took out Zhang Bangchang's handwriting and Queen Yuanyou saw that it contained the words "Recommend the Generalissimo" that she was willing to accept it.

On April , Zhang Bangchang convened a meeting of civil and military officials in the Wende Hall and read to everyone a handwritten letter from the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty. The book said: "I have received the grace of the Song Dynasty in this world, and I am the former emperor. Whenever I want to sacrifice my life for righteousness, I hope that Honor the Lord to protect the people. How could the misfortune become so extreme that the monarch and his ministers change their positions? Since they are caught in the snare, it is really difficult to escape from the sword and rope. The power of the great country's war is forced from the outside, and Li Yuan's life is saved from the inside. Gu Nanshi In terms of appearance, I just mourned my long-lasting death. The existence of the pestle and mortar, Zhao Gu, is only the original intention.

At the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, he first discussed the ceremony of respecting the West Palace. He was named after the same mother and the country belonged to the Zhou Dynasty. This is to express the utmost respect from the ministers to show the great obedience of the country. The constitution was established and the badge was raised. Empress Gongwei Zhezong Yuanyou, Hui Rouyigong, smart and wise. A match made in heaven, already as good as Tai Ling; Wang Jia has a family, and his dear mother is in Fang Xia. Carrying the style of Ziting, with the sound of Zhangtong Guan. Even though he lived in Yu Yaohua's Taoist residence, he also obeyed the emperor's edict to return to the palace. The gods have been living in Jingguan for a long time, and the memories have been accumulated in Mian District.

Now that the two emperors have moved, Sanchuan will be shaken. If the bandits look up to the emperor, they will follow the ritual style. This is to be sincere in the heart, to trickle down the good fortune of the sun, and only to return to the courtyard, to respect the old country's etiquette. Reveal the number to correct the name, open a separate palace and move to the imperial palace. The territory is small and the people are in a period of prosperity and prosperity; the capital and the city are both safe and secure, and the blessings of the spiritual leaders are also great. Yizun was named the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty, and she was in charge of the Yanfu Palace. She ordered a minister to select a day to present the treasure, and she should perform the ceremony, and the ceremony was carried out quickly. "

After the meeting, Zhang Bangchang heard that Jianghuai sent the judge Xiang Ziqi, and sent General Wang Yi and other troops led by King Qin to the city. So Fan Qiong was ordered to prepare food and wine to reward this team of diligent kings. He also sent people to bring Wang Yi into the palace, rewarded him with robes and belts in person, and promoted him to an official position. Zhang Bangchang also asked Wang Yi to send a message to Xiang Ziyi when he returned, saying that he should be awarded the title of King Qin's First Meritorious Service and that he would be reused in the future.

There is a reason why Zhang Bangchang pays special attention to Xiang Ziyi. Because Xiang Zikai arrested two envoys sent by Zhang Bangchang, one was sent to Luzhou to visit his parents, and the other was sent to deliver a message to Xiang Zikai. These two people are now in Xiang Ziyi's hands.

Wang Shiyong gave Wang Yi thirty bolts of silk and twenty thousand cash, and asked him to go back to reward the army. He also asked him to take the Shangshu Provincial Documents back to the Jianghuai Shipping Department and order the Shipping Department to transport grain and other materials to the capital.

Hu Shunzhi, the imperial censor, saw that Zhang Bangchang was still busy with government affairs and had no intention of returning the power to the Zhao family, so he submitted a letter to him and suggested that he quickly rectify the title of Queen Yuanyou and ask Queen Yuanyou to listen to the government behind the curtain. Zha Zizhong said: "Now the clouds and fog are gathering among the troops of King Qin from all directions. They are coming for the Zhao family. How can they obey my orders and turn them away behind closed doors? It's the same child's play. Fu Wang immediately surrendered the command, corrected his reputation, and asked Yuan Queen You is behind the curtain to listen to the government inside, and your majesty uses the Taizai to manage things outside. He sends ministers to welcome King Kang. He informs the soldiers about this matter. Who would not be happy to convince him that this will bring great blessings to the world and your majesty's outstanding achievements will last forever. Those who are."

On April th, the political atmosphere in Jeju City was also very heated. The minister Geng Nanzhong, the marshal Wang Boyan, the deputy marshal Huang Qianshan, the counselors Geng Yanxi, Dong Yun, and Gao Shize, the officers Yang Yuan, Wang Qizhi, and Qin Baixiang, the army transfer envoys Liang Yangzu and Huang Qianhou, the commander Yang Weizhong, and the commander of the five armies Zhang Jun, as well as all the officers and men, lined up to come to King Kang's residence and persuaded King Kang to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Geng Nanzhong led everyone to stand in the courtyard and paid homage to King Kang again: "The Jin people are unfaithful and invite the two saints Luan Yu to hunt north. Heaven is not tired of the Song Dynasty, and there will be a master. Who should lead the Song Dynasty sacrifices but the king? The king is smart and brave, the emperor's heir, and the young emperor's younger brother. The destiny has been foreshadowed, and the people's hearts have truly returned. It is appropriate to follow the destiny and the people, and it is appropriate to take the opportunity. The destiny cannot be delayed for a long time, the human heart cannot be violated by force, and all opportunities cannot be temporarily ignored. May all opportunities be ignored. The king, who is the emperor, takes the throne to stabilize the world, to comfort the spirits of the ancestors in heaven, and secondly to comfort the two saints looking south. Then, he orders the world to return to war and destroy the captives to welcome back the two saints. He is the leader of the resurgence of the Song Dynasty. The world is very lucky."
