Chapter 22
King Yun was a man of high literary talent and experienced many important events. He was full of literary skills and military strategies, and he had thousands of thoughts in his mind. He spoke quickly and gradually raised his voice: "It turns out that we in the Song Dynasty do not know ourselves or our enemies, so we have many things.
blind
Such a move resulted in the loss of great rivers and mountains, just like water splashed across the country. Recently, the imperial court fell into the Jin Kingdom's counter-intentional plan. With the help of Qin Hui, he cut off his own arm and killed Marshal Yue Fei and other leading war ministers.
He stabbed himself. The hateful traitor Qin Hui arranged for his adopted son Qin Xi to know the affairs of the Privy Council and control the Privy Council. Yu Wenxuzhong discussed the secret of the rebellion with Gao Shi and leaked it to the Kingdom of Jin. This not only caused the two people to be ruined.
He died and earned a fortune from Xu Zhong’s whole family, old and young. On the same day, he went to Beijing in the Kingdom of Jin to be burned at the stake. The smoke covered the sky and the day was as dark as night. What’s more, it’s a pity that our Prime Minister Yu Wen and his whole family died an untimely death.”
Speaking of this, I couldn't help crying. In the Song Dynasty, Yu Wenxuzhong served as a bachelor of Zizhengdian, a scholar of Zhongshushe, etc. His position was far inferior to that of a prime minister. However, at that time, the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty changed frequently, and mediocre people abounded.
In King Yun's mind, Yu Wenxuzhong's status had already surpassed that of some prime ministers.
Yuwen Xuzhong risked his life many times as a Song minister to send Jin Dynasties. In the first year of Jianyan, he was detained by Yunzhong Mansion as an envoy.
Zhong's younger brother, Shi Zhong's daughter, had already drawn Xu Zhong into the map of anti-gold figures, and took advantage of the situation to make him an undercover agent for the Song Dynasty.
Later, Zhao Ding became the prime minister, and later Qin Hui made many conspirators and finally became the prime minister. He also used his adopted son Qin Xi to control the Privy Council. When Lieutenant Yu Wenxu sent the secret letter of the undercover wax pill to the Privy Council, Qin Hui finally got the secret to leak it to the Kingdom of Jin.
, and colluded with the Jin Kingdom to earn more than a hundred people from Xu Zhong's family from the Central Plains, and sent them to the Jin Kingdom to be killed together.
Everyone thought about Yu Wenxuzhong's high physical ability and the tragic death of his family. They were sad for Yu Wenxu's family's misfortune, but also resented Qin Hui for his treachery and the viciousness of the Jin people.
King Yun stopped his sorrow and continued: "In October of the first year of Jianyan, in order to welcome the second emperor back to the dynasty, Yu Wen responded to the imperial edict and was appointed as the envoy to Yunzhong Mansion. Unfortunately, he was detained and stranded in the Kingdom of Jin. Since then, he has endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden.
He worked hard and secretly did many great things for Song Dynasty.
"When Yu Wen first met the Jin people who wanted to invade the south, he would try his best to dissuade them on the grounds that the south of the Yangtze River was remote and not worth the expense of money and labor; he would also send secret envoys to convey the Jin people's military situation to the Song Dynasty. All the scholars in the north knew that they were in the north.
They resented the loss of their country and were trapped in a foreign country, so they secretly formed an alliance with faith to fight against the Jin Dynasty.
"Yu Wen relied on his majestic appearance and outstanding literary talent. The Jin people loved his talent and kept giving him official titles. He was a scholar in the Hanlin Academy and knew how to make imperial edicts. He was also Taichang Qing, and he was granted the title of Duke of Henan County. Also because of Jin's writing "
"Taizu Ruide's Divine Merit Monument", he was promoted to Jin Ziguang doctor. The official system of the Jin Dynasty, such as official status, rank, title, posthumous title, etc. were all determined by Yu Wenxuzhong in accordance with the system of the Tang and Song Dynasties, so the Jin people called it "the country".
division'."
After King Yun said this, he turned around and walked towards Li Qiong, hugged Li Qiong's arms with both hands, and praised loudly: "Prime Minister Yuwen and our General Li are both rebels of the Song Dynasty in name, but secretly
He is a loyal countryman, and it is really not easy. Not only is his reputation tarnished, but he also has to go through life and death, like walking on the edge of a knife, and Yu Wen's whole family was killed. You two have outstanding achievements, which can be demonstrated every day."
King Yun walked towards Fan Yantang again and asked Yin Yin: "Yantang, I will tell you everything you have done recently, so that you can know in detail what you have participated in. First, it is extremely difficult, and second, it is a heavy responsibility, so you should be cautious in the future.
Act. Back then, General Li Qiong and General Dong Xian had no choice but to surrender to Liu Yu——"
"King Yun doesn't have to rouge and powder Li Qiong, and he has no reason to add such kind words to me. At that time, he killed the supervisor Lu Zhi and others, led 40,000 Song troops and more than 100,000 people to surrender to the puppet Qi Liu Yu, and then surrendered to Liu Yu
Jin, Li Qiong made
"You have done foolish things and will be stained for life. You will regret it, but you should admit it." These words were said very loudly, and they were taken seriously and resoundingly. Everyone was stunned when Li Qiong suddenly interrupted when King Yun was talking.
In the seventh year of Shaoxing, Liu Guangshi was deprived of military power by the imperial court. His troops were leaderless, with Wang De as the main general and Li Qiong as his deputy. The two were at odds, so the imperial court sent Lv Zhi, the Minister of War, to supervise the army. Lv Zhixin expressed his gratitude to Wang De
, collect Li Qiong and a group of generals close to him for their crimes, and secretly report them to the court for explanation.
Li Qiong was removed from the military power, but the petty official Zhu Zhao reported Li Qiong. Li Qiong intercepted the secret report and questioned Lu Zhi. He was angry, but he received an imperial edict to go to Lin'an. Li Qiong saw that things were not good, and encouraged him
The 40,000 Huaixi army and 100,000 civilians surrendered to the puppet Qi Liu Yu, and later followed Liu Yu to pay gold.
The Huaixi Mutiny had a heavy blow to the Song Dynasty's resistance to the Jin Dynasty. Everyone knew that this incident was caused by Zhang Jun's improper control, and he resigned from the post of prime minister because of it. However, the culprit was undoubtedly the General Li in front of him.
When Yan Tang came in just now, Marshal Han introduced that Li Qiong's mutiny in Huaixi was a last resort. He happened to be undercover in the Jin camp a few days ago and was dedicated to helping the Song Dynasty. He really had a back-up plan. Everyone disagreed. What kind of deeds are worth leading?
Thousands of people surrendered? Li Qiong has been brooding over this matter for a long time, and regrets it too much. He thought to himself, if I let others clean up the matter in front of me, how could I have any shame?
Li Qiong stood up, with tears in his eyes, and said loudly:
"He was bold and courageous. He was once a great son of the Song Dynasty.
Go to death generously without caring about anything, and the history will shine with fragrance.
Unfortunately, the hero is still alive, and I regret that the vegetable market did not die prematurely.
Observe the moral integrity and manage the husband's affairs, regardless of success or failure."
It means that I once had great ambitions, wholeheartedly resisted the Jin Dynasty, and wanted to be famous forever. Unexpectedly, the world was weird, and I turned into a rebel traitor in the middle. I might as well have died at that time. A real man should be aware of the general trend and keep his moral integrity.
The way you conduct yourself in the world changes at the slightest sign of trouble, and it has no bearing on the success or failure of things. It also means that you dare to take action and take responsibility without complaining about others.
Li Qiong bowed his hands to everyone and said sternly: "Back then, Li Qiong killed the prison officer Lu Zhi and others, led an army of more than 40,000 people, and threatened more than 100,000 people to surrender to the puppet Qi Liu Yu, and then paid gold.
Although I was desperate at the time, it was not my intention. I still wanted to do what the Dong brothers did and fake surrender. Who could
After knowing that, he fell into other people's schemes everywhere. After surrendering, Wanyan Zonghan immediately disbanded the army and could not gather it again, so he had to die obediently. Although he tried his best to plot and contribute to the Song Dynasty, he couldn't get enough credit for it.
What if I'm guilty? It's just a pity for what I did in the first half of my life."
While speaking, he turned to King Yun again: "Your Majesty, Li Qiong was not careful when he was confused, did not wake up when it was clear, and did not look back when he was awake. Because he fought with Wang De and acted on his own impulse, he finally gave up the fight against the Jin and ignored the general trend in order to save himself for a while.
I am in trouble, splitting and breaking the anti-golden forces, and my sins are grave. I bear the name of a traitor and rebel, but I am in a position of misfortune. I will never recover, and it will be difficult for me to stand up. My reputation is not enough to regret."
Li Qiong was a thief in Hebei in his early years. When the Jin Dynasty invaded the Song Dynasty, he was recruited by Liu Guangshi. He was brave and courageous and was indeed a rare general. He was only in Zhang Jun's rectification of Liu Guangshi's Huaixi army, but he was squeezed by many parties.
By mistake, it turned into a rebellion. Everyone in the world knew that what happened was not his original intention. From then on, he continued to defend the people of the Song Dynasty during the critical period of the Jin Dynasty. He was an upright and honest official and had a good reputation among the people. He was never regarded as a traitor or a big evil by the people of the Song Dynasty.
.
Seeing Li Qiong's rebuttal, King Yun looked slightly embarrassed. He paused and continued: "This incident was planned by the traitor Qin Hui as an undercover spy in the Northern Kingdom. So far, it is also his most successful one. The Song Dynasty Court, Zhang
Prime Minister Jun wanted to reorganize Liu Guangshi's Huaixi army, but he happened to take advantage of it. General Li bore the brunt and became a pawn."
Li Qiong said: "I was stupid and committed a huge crime back then, so I should be brave enough to take responsibility for it. I was wrong if I was wrong in the past. If I do what I do today, I can justify it again, or I will be punished because Yantang joined the gang.
Whitewashing is in vain no matter what, and it also insults our heroic act today, and makes Yantang look down upon us here."
King Yun shook his head slightly and said again: "When the Huaixi Army Incident suddenly happened, it was not General Li's original intention. I and others have discussed it privately more than once. What I said today is not just to excuse General Li, it has no reason at all. Although you
I was the one who suffered the brunt of it back then, and I may not know more about the inner situation, so I will simply talk about it here today."
"In the seven years of Shaoxing, the foundation of the Song Dynasty has gradually stabilized, and the national power has become increasingly prosperous. The imperial court saw the hope of regaining its territory. For a time, the military power was greatly boosted, and it was quite a renaissance. At that time, Zhang Jun was both the right prime minister and the governor, and ordered Marshal Han to take over.
, Chu wanted to plot Huaiyang; Liu Guangshi stationed in Hefei to recruit the Northern Army; Zhang Jun trained troops
Jiankang marched into the garrison of Xuyi; Yang Yizhong led the elite troops as his rear wing to assist Jun; Yue Fei marched into the garrison at Xiangyang to get a glimpse of the Central Plains. He wanted to raise a five-pronged army to attack the Jin people and the puppet Qi. Prime Minister Zhang Jun crossed the river to Huaihe and took charge of the affairs. Here you are
You may have been involved in it, or you may have had a major stake in it, so you must know a lot.”
Han Shizhong who is here is one of the five generals. Li Qiong was launching the Huaixi Mutiny at this time. Dong Xian and Li Bao followed Yue Fei as generals. They all witnessed it personally. However, King Yun was trapped in the northern kingdom with Huizong at that time. On the one hand, everyone admired King Yun for his detailed knowledge.
, on the one hand, I wonder why he turned against being a guest, but instead explained it to everyone.
King Yun ignored everyone's doubts and continued: "But at that time, Liu Guangshi was too arrogant and lazy to fight and refused to advance with his troops. Prime Minister Zhang reported to the court that Liu Guangshi should be dismissed from his position as commander of the army. And the left prime minister Zhao Ding regarded Liu Guangshi as the son of his family.
officers and soldiers
If he was dismissed without any reason, Zhang Jun wanted to make it easier for the court to control Liu Guangshi's left guard army, and finally dismissed him. Therefore, this was a dangerous move from the beginning, which led to frequent changes in the aftermath.
"Since Taizu's "Release of Military Power over a Drink of Wine", the Song Dynasty has emphasized culture and suppressed military power. Whenever the military power was confiscated, it was afraid of failure and did not hesitate. This matter was exactly the same, and Liu Guangshi's military power was immediately confiscated, with an edict.
Put his troops under the jurisdiction of senior brother Yue Fei." Yue Fei was a disciple of Zhou Tong, and King Yun also studied under Zhou Tong in his early years. Although he never formally became a disciple, he always regarded Yue Fei as his senior brother.
Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiao Mutiny after Chai Rong's death, and was able to seize the territory of the Later Zhou Dynasty. He was well aware of the threat to the imperial court due to the separatist feudal towns and the self-respect of military commanders, so he released his military power with a glass of wine. These words expressed his gratitude to Zhao Kuangyin.
