Li Bangyan suggested that Tong Guan should present the Jinjun Calligraphy to Song Huizong in the early morning of the next day to see if he could be stimulated.
On the morning of the 23rd, Tong Guan submitted a call to action according to the plan.
The general meaning of the call to arms is that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was a scumbag and a scumbag. This time the Jin army went south, and he vowed not to stop until he defeated this scumbag.
After Huizong read the call to action, he was really stimulated.He sat on the dragon chair and burst into tears, speechless for a long time, and finally said that's all, Qing will come to discuss important matters later in the evening.
At night, Song Huizong summoned Yu Wenxuzhong, Wu Min and other ministers successively in Yuhua Hall to discuss the abdication.
After the call, Song Huizong ordered Wu Min and others to stay outside, saying that he needed to think again.
After a while, Song Huizong had made up his mind and called all the ministers into the hall. Unexpectedly, because of his emotional fluctuations, before he could speak, he suddenly fainted from breath and fell from the imperial bed to the ground.
The servants hurriedly helped Song Huizong up and carried him to the East Pavilion of Baohe Hall to rest.
After discussing with the ministers, they decided to let the imperial physician add the decoction again to see if it would be effective.
Song Huizong woke up after drinking the decoction, but he couldn't speak.
Song Huizong raised his arm and motioned for his servant to bring a pen and paper. Huizong wrote with his left hand that my right side can no longer move. How should the abdication be arranged?
All the ministers did not dare to figure out Song Huizong's intentions, so they were speechless.
Song Huizong also wrote why all the lovers didn't speak?
The ministers remained silent.
Song Huizong finally wrote that the crown prince Zhao Huan could succeed the emperor, and I retreated to Longde Palace as the leader and Taoist monarch. He also wrote that Wu Min was loyal and reliable, and asked him to draft the Zen edict.
After Wu Min drafted the edict and got the approval of Song Huizong, the ministers ordered people to call Prince Zhao Huan from the East Palace to visit Song Huizong.
After the prince Zhao Huan arrived, the ministers announced the edict of abdication in front of Huizong's bed and wanted to put the prince in a dragon robe.
The Crown Prince Zhao Huan is a cowardly man. At this time, a catastrophe is imminent. His father wants to pass on the throne to him and let him take the blame for his father. Zhao Huan was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed to resign from the throne, saying that it would be unfilial for me to accept the throne. refused to inherit the throne.
During the stalemate, Crown Prince Zhao Huan also suddenly fell ill and fell unconscious.
The ministers didn't know whether it was true or not, so they had to send Crown Prince Zhao Huan back to the East Palace to recuperate.
At this time, Song Huizong had made up his mind to go and insisted on abdicating the throne.
The country cannot be without a master for a day, and the court ministers had to wait outside the East Palace with imperial edicts and dragon robes.
However, the Jin army was coming to attack Bianliang City in Tokyo to capture the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the crown prince Zhao Huan really didn't want to be this top-notch emperor.He hid in the East Palace and didn't show up all day.
The officials had no choice but to send Zhao Huan's teacher, the prince Zhan Shigeng Nanzhong, into the East Palace to persuade the prince to succeed him.
After a lot of persuasion, Prince Zhao Huan finally ascended the throne as the Holy Emperor Xiaociyuan, that is, the unlucky emperor Song Qinzong.
Chapter 889 The Nation Is a Good General
In December of the seventh year of Xuanhe, Zhao Huan was enthroned by his father Song Huizong Zhao Ji, and immediately issued an edict declaring amnesty to the world.
After Ximenqing confirmed that Zhao Huan became the emperor in Bianliang City, Tokyo, he knew that the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji would flee to the southeast in a few days.After making some secret arrangements in the city, he took Jiao Ting and Tang Long out of Bianliang, Tokyo, and disappeared into the wilderness outside the city.
Once the emperor and the courtiers, although the emperor Zhao Huan reluctantly inherited the throne, he quickly promoted officials close to him.
On the third day after Emperor Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he added the important figures of the princeling party. The prince Zhan Shi Geng Nanzhong was the secretary of the Privy Council, Wu Min was the servant of the Chinese doctor, and He Guan was the guard of the infantry. Deputy envoys were set up on Hebei and Hedong roads.
Of these three, Prince Zhan Shigeng Nanzhong is Zhao Huan's closest teacher, needless to say.
In the matter, Wu Min was the main figure in promoting Song Huizong's abdication of the throne.
He Guan was the number one marksman in the Song Dynasty who shocked the Liao people back then, and he was also the general who guarded the palace that night when Song Huizong abdicated the throne.
That night, Zhao Kai, Song Huizong's most beloved third prince, heard that his father wanted to abdicate the throne to his elder brother Zhao Huan, so he hurried into the palace to stop him.Because, compared to the prince Zhao Huan, what Song Huizong really liked was the third prince Zhao Kai.
If it wasn't for the imminent crisis of the Jin army's invasion, given time, Zhao Kai might not have had the chance to squeeze out Zhao Huan and get his hands on the throne.
It can be said that Song Huizong's sudden abdication disrupted Zhao Kai's plan to seize the heir apparent, and Zhao Kai tried in vain to persuade his father to withdraw his order.
However, when Zhao Kai wanted to break into the palace, he was blocked by He Guan, the capital of the infantry guards.He Guan drew his sword and confronted Zhao Kai, yelling at Zhao Kai that he must be ordered by the emperor not to enter, Zhao Kai was so frightened that he stopped his banners and drums, and gave up the idea of preventing his father from passing on to his elder brother.
Therefore, He Guan is undoubtedly a general on the side of Prince Zhao Huan, and he was reused immediately after Zhao Huan ascended the throne.
Later, Wu Min, the servant of the door, recommended Taichang Shaoqing Li Gang to Emperor Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan was ordered to sit on the throne of the emperor when he was in danger, but he had no political experience, how could he deal with the crisis approaching by the Jin army.He can only hope that the ministers around him will follow their advice.Geng Nanzhong, Wu Min, and Li Gang became the most trusted people around Zhao Huan in the early days of his ascension to the throne.
Because Tong Guan had commanded the Western Army for many years and was familiar with military affairs, Emperor Zhao Huan initially hoped that Tong Guan, who was in charge of the Privy Council, would be able to provoke the leader and lead the troops to defend the capital.Unexpectedly, Tong Guan had already made up his mind to flee to the south of the Yangtze River with the former emperor Taishang Huang Zhao Ji, and politely declined Zhao Huan's reuse.
As a last resort, the new emperor Zhao Huan had no choice but to replace Tong Guan with others.
On December 26, Zhao Huan issued an edict ordering the Jiedu Envoy of the Mighty Army, and the servant Liang Fangping commanded the [-] cavalry cavalry of the Imperial Army in the capital to garrison Liyang, the important town of the Anli Army on the West Road of Hebei, and ordered the infantry guards Du Yuhou, and the Hebei and Hedong Roads. He Guan, the deputy envoy, led [-] troops to garrison along the Yellow River.
At this time, Wanyan Zonghan's Jin Army West Route Army was still besieging Taiyuan Fucheng, an important town on Hedong Road, and used siege tactics to kill and injure the Song Army.However, under Guo Yaoshi's suggestion, Wanyan Zongwang, the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army of the Jin Army, gave up the siege of Zhending Mansion, which was defended by the Song Army.
After occupying Qingyuan Mansion, the Jin army rested in the city.Wanyan Zongwang heard that there was a Taishi who knew astrology among the defenders of Qingyuan Mansion, so he ordered him to look at the sky.
After Taishi astrology, he said that tonight, the emperor star representing the fate of the emperor of the Song Dynasty was extremely bright, which was not comparable to that of the previous few days.Wan Yan Zongwang was very puzzled after hearing this.
Wanyan Zongwang led the Jin Army's East Route Army to continue southward, and broke through the Xingzhou Xinde Mansion, and captured the city guard Yang Xingong alive.
On the 29th, an envoy from the Song Dynasty rushed to Xinde Mansion and asked to see Wanyan Zongwang, the commander-in-chief of the Jin army. He said that Emperor Huizong had already ascended the throne and became the Supreme Emperor, and Prince Zhao Huan succeeded him as emperor.
Wanyan Zongwang was shocked when he heard this, and said to the astrological Taishi: "You said the day before yesterday that the emperor star of the Southern Dynasty would recover, and today it has been verified, so what you said is true!"
Wanyan Zongwang ordered his subordinates to reward the Taishi who watched the sky with gold and silk.
Because the Taishi in the Song Army once said that the emperor star representing the fate of the Song Dynasty emperor was extremely bright, Wanyan Zongwang and his lieutenant officers were worried that after the new emperor Zhao Huan came to the throne, the Song Dynasty had already prepared for defense and counterattack, and it would be difficult to cross the heavily defended Yellow River, so they hesitated. He decided to withdraw from the army.
After Guo Yaoshi knew about it, he persuaded Yan Zongwang to seize the opportunity and continue to march.He said to Wanyan Zongwang: "Second prince, the last general thinks that the Southern Dynasty may not be prepared in a hurry.
The last general once went to Bianjing City, Tokyo, the capital of the Southern Dynasties, where the wealth is far from comparable to that of Yanshan.Moreover, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasties were all incompetent people who lived extravagantly and did not understand military affairs. The soldiers and horses of the capital were also poorly trained and had not been in battle for a long time.
Now Prince Lang Jun's soldiers are moving fast, and he can take advantage of this momentum to rush towards the river.It is expected that the soldiers of the Southern Dynasties will be terrified when they hear the wind, and our army will surely win without fighting.
Even if the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty are well prepared and our army fails to cross the river, Prince Lang Jun can still show his troops to the Southern Dynasty to show the national prestige of our Great Jin Kingdom.After drinking the horse river, it is not too late for the prince to return! "
Wanyan Zongwang was originally a famous general of the Golden Army who was good at long-distance raids, and he was never afraid of military adventures.After listening to Guo Yaoshi's advice, he took it seriously and decided to continue to lead the troops south.
Three days later, the New Year came on the first day of the first lunar month.Zhao Huan, the new emperor of the Song Dynasty, issued an edict to change to the first year of Yuan Jingkang. He accepted the congratulations of all officials, and called on all the subjects of the world to speak uprightly to save the country from danger, and ordered all officials to recommend generals who can lead troops to fight.
It's a pity that Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and other favorites of Song Huizong had no interest in the new emperor Zhao Huan, and were busy following the Supreme Emperor's strategic shift. Naturally, they did not recommend Hu Yanzhuo, a "double whip" to the court , "Big Sword" Guan Sheng, "Pioneer" Suo Chao, "Thunderbolt" Qin Ming and other strong generals from all over the world.
Even Xuan Zan, a military general in Beijing who can shoot straight arrows like "Ugly County Horse", is packing up and saluting, preparing to escape with Grand Master Cai Jing, never thinking of serving on the front line.
"Golden Gunner" Xu Ning is now Gao Qi's favorite general beside Gao Taiwei, so naturally he will follow Gao Taiwei and lead the army to protect the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji.
