At the same time, Wang Anzhong also wrote a letter to the court, reiterating the benefits of accepting Zhang Jue in Pingzhou.
Wang Anzhong believed that the imperial court's surrender of Zhang Jue in Pingzhou would allow him to attack Xiao Qian's army from behind and help the Song army defeat Xiao Qian.
If the imperial court ignores Zhang Jue in Pingzhou, Zhang Jue may join forces with Xiao Qian to bring disaster to Yan.
Wang Anzhong believed that when the Yan land was in danger, the imperial court would definitely adopt his opinion.
……
When Xiao Qianbing arrived outside Yanjing City, in order to appease the surrendered general Guo Pharmacist of Yanshan Mansion who held a heavy army, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty had summoned him to the pilgrimage.
After Guo Yaoshi entered Beijing, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty gave him a mansion, beauties, and many gold, silver and jewels in the capital to express his special favor for him.
Because Guo Yaoshi said that he wanted to see the scenery of Jinming Pool, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty ordered someone to arrange Jinming Pool like spring, and asked the ministers of the court to invite Guo Yaoshi to visit.
At the same time, Song Huizong also ordered all the ministers and relatives to take turns to entertain Guo Yaoshi with banquets, so that he could experience the prosperity and extravagance of the Song Dynasty.In an attempt to win over Guo Yaoshi's heart.
How did Song Huizong know that the incompetence of the Song Army had already made Guo Yaoshi despise him, and this trip to Bianliang City in Tokyo made him see the root of the Song Army's weakness.
Guo Yaoshi despised the Song court even more in his heart.However, because he was afraid of being placed under house arrest by the imperial court and lifted his military power in Bianliang City, Tokyo, Guo Yaoshi expressed his gratitude and loyalty to the imperial court.
After receiving Wang Anzhong's request, Taiwei Tong Guan decided to let Guo Yaoshi return to Yanshan Mansion and lead the Changsheng Army to a decisive battle with Xiao Qian's Army.
When Guo Yaoshi bid farewell, he could not see him in the main hall due to regulations. In order to show his favor, Song Huizong specially came to the Yanchun Hall in the outer back garden of Yuhua Pavilion to summon Guo Pharmacist.
On that day, due to the scorching heat of summer, Emperor Huizong of Song ordered someone to cool down the house with two large gold basins filled with ice cubes.
When Guo Yaoshi saw Huizong, he immediately burst into tears, knelt down and bowed, and shouted long live.
Guo Yaoshi knelt in the court, shed tears of excitement, and said in his mouth: "I am in captivity. I heard that Emperor Zhao is in the sky. It doesn't mean that I have to look at Longyan today. Although I die, I have no regrets!"
Song Huizong was moved by Guo Yaoshi's performance, praised and encouraged him greatly, and entrusted him with the important task of guarding the Yan.
Guo Yaoshi replied: "I am willing to die for Your Majesty."
After Song Huizong praised him, he said that he wanted to ask Guo Yaoshi for something.
Guo Yaoshi said that no matter what happens, he must be smashed to pieces to repay him with death.
Song Huizong said that Tianzuo, Emperor of Liao, is still in the world, and there are still many Yan people loyal to him in Yandi. .
Chapter 852 All kinds of Liao Dynasty survivors
Song Huizong said this because he learned that Zhang Jueyao in Pingzhou was mainly serving Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi, which made him realize that the people of Yandi were not attached, and the trouble of Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi must be eliminated.
Of course, when Song Huizong raised this matter suddenly, he also intended to test Guo Yaoshi to see how he would respond.
In fact, this is a very tricky question, and it is difficult to answer it in a hurry.
If Guo Yaoshi refuses to attack Emperor Tianzuo, it is a disobedience to resist the edict, can the court rest assured that he will guard Yandi?
However, if Guo Yaoshi agreed to kill the old master without hesitation to please the new master and claim credit for himself, he would be regarded as an unfaithful villain.
Today you Guo Yaoshi can betray Emperor Tianzuo with peace of mind, but tomorrow you don't know that you won't betray Song Dynasty again?
I don't know which wicked minister around Song Huizong helped him make such a deceitful problem.
Guo Yaoshi's complexion changed greatly when he heard this, and he said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, I dare not accept the order!
Emperor Tianzuo, the old master of the ministers, the ministers dare not rebel.
Only because the Tianzuo Empire broke away and Yanjing City was usurped by the Empress Dowager Xiao, the minister surrendered to the Celestial Dynasty.
Your Majesty asked the minister to serve his death elsewhere, and the minister would never dare to refuse.
But if you let the ministers rebel against the old master, the ministers and the master are like serving your Majesty, but they only know that they are loyal, and they dare not obey orders.
Killing the king is the way of betraying the master and not being a minister. May Your Majesty assign this task to others.
The minister is dead! "
After Guo Yaoshi said these words with emotion, he knelt on the ground and wept like rain.
Guo Yaoshi's response was perfect. He expressed his attitude to His Majesty the Emperor:
I, Guo Yaoshi, am a loyal minister. I would not betray Emperor Tianzuo before, and I will not betray you, Emperor Daojun, now.
How could a loyal minister like me do such a thing as killing the old lord?Your Majesty is wise, you won't force me, a loyal minister, to do unfaithful things, will you?
"General Guo is really a loyal minister!"
Song Huizong sighed sincerely.
Guo Yaoshi's performance successfully resolved the crisis and won Song Huizong's appreciation.
When Song Huizong was happy, he took off his battle robe and put it on Guo Yaoshi, and gave it to Guo Yaoshi together with the two golden basins of Sheng Bing, and made him an official inspector.
Guo Yaoshi left Yanchun Palace and returned to the post house, and told his subordinates that today's rewards were not due to his own efforts, but the result of the concerted efforts of the Ever Victorious Army.
Afterwards, Pharmacist Guo ordered people to open the two golden pots and share them equally among his subordinates.
Guo Yaoshi's refusal to attack the old master and share the golden basin with his subordinates was praised by everyone in the court. Song Huizong also felt that it was rare for Guo Yaoshi to act like this.
However, Guo Yaoshi refused to lead the army to attack Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, which made Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty feel that if Emperor Tianzuo was not eliminated for a day, the people of Yan would be unstable.Emperor Tianzuo was really worried about the Great Song Dynasty ruling the land of Yanyun.
However, this confidant's trouble is still far away from Jiashan's hiding with the Jin army, which can only be regarded as a long-term concern. The Xiao Qianjun who is now threatening Yanshan Mansion is the immediate worry of the Song Dynasty.
After sending Guo Yaoshi northward to fight against Xiao Qian, in Bianliang City, Tokyo, after receiving Wang Anzhong's letter, the ministers once again debated whether to accept the rebel army Zhang Jue in Pingzhou.
Zhao Liangsi still insisted on opposing the acceptance of Zhang Jue, and even asked Song Huizong to order to execute Li Anbi, a survivor of the Liao Kingdom who came to Tokyo to lobby for Bianliang City, and others.
Song Huizong refused to allow Zhao Liangsi to play, but he was also hesitant, let alone agreeing to take over Pingzhou.
His Majesty the Emperor did not express his position, and the ministers who supported the acceptance of Pingzhou and those who opposed the acceptance of Pingzhou were in dispute. In the end, this deadlock was broken by Zhao Minxiu, a scholar of Kang Yandian who promoted Taiyi Palace.
Zhao Minxiu is also a survivor of the Liao Kingdom, but he took refuge in the Song Dynasty a step earlier.His original name was Li Chuneng, the son of Li Yan, the former prime minister of the Liao Kingdom.
Li Chuneng was an official sent from Liao Dynasty abroad. When he was an official in Juehua Island, he was summoned back to Yanjing by the Empress Dowager Xiao who was in power at that time.When he reached the boundary of Pingzhou, he learned that the Jin army had already occupied Yanjing and was forced to flee to the Song Dynasty.
After Li Chuneng arrived in Bianliang City in Tokyo, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty attached great importance to him. He first gave him the royal surname and changed his name to Zhao Minxiu, and then gave him an official position in a mansion. Zhao Minxiu stayed in Bianliang City in Tokyo.
It was thanks to his father Li Yan that Zhao Minxiu was able to go to the capital of the Great Song Dynasty after the subjugation of the country and thrive.
Li Yan once went to the Song Dynasty as an envoy, and had close contacts with Song Dynasty officials, and was quite popular in Bianliang City, Tokyo.In particular, the friendship between him and Cai Jing more than 20 years ago was a good story among the scholars of the Song Dynasty, and it also paved the way for his son to seek refuge in the Song Dynasty today.
Taishi Cai Jing was a Jinshi when he was young, full of knowledge and quick thinking.
During Song Zhezong Shaosheng's reign, Cai Jing received Li Yan, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, as a Hanlin scholar, and stayed for a long time.Li Yan is also talented and proficient in poetry. He hit it off with Cai Jing and became friends.
