Envoy of Cheng University
And such irresponsible water control finally caused a catastrophe again decades later: the Yellow River is redirected!
On the 19th of the month, because Chen Junqing strongly recommended, Song Xiaozong recalled Sichuan Xuanfu Envoy Yu Yunwen and ordered the political affairs officer Wang Yan to serve as Sichuan Xuanfu Envoy.
On May 1, the Secretariat reported to Jin Shizong that the emperor's two sons: King Wanyan Yongzhong of Yue, and King Wanyan Yonggong of Sui and others recruited civil servants to repair the palace. Wanyan Bao immediately issued an edict, "I saw that there were exhausted bamboos in the palace, and I wanted to make them plant, but I was afraid that people would stop. Now the two royal palaces each have their own power, and there are many slaves, so how can I change the people? You just use the example as an invitation. Hailing is overwhelming, how can I use it as an example?"
On August 6, Emperor Xiaozong of Song appointed Chen Junqing as the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe and Yu Yunwen as the Minister of Shangshu You Pushe. Both of them were also Privy Councilors and commanded the state and used envoys. The war faction once again fully grasped the power of the empire's politics, military and financial ownership.
The Longxing peace talks that Zhao Sheng felt most humiliated was not the treason of Tang Situi and others, nor the collapse of Fu Li of Li, but two "small things" that seemed to have nothing to do with the real interests of the country.
1 Henan has never been recovered
This is not only the passionate slogan of regaining the old capital Kaifeng and fighting back to the Yellow River, but because the imperial tomb of the Zhao Song Dynasty was there! Except for Song Huizong, all the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were buried there! From common sense, it is impossible to visit the tombs of ancestors every year, which is the most unbearable shame that the Han people cannot bear! In fact, Zhao Song not only failed, but also implicated the ancestors to be captured, and was always under the threat of digging graves!
Zhao Gou was indifferent to this matter, and Zhao Guo couldn't sleep or eat. He decided to reason with the Jin Kingdom, and not be busy with other territory, and Henan must be returned to the Southern Song Dynasty!
Receive a ceremony
This is a political ceremony, which was decided during the peace talks between Shaoxing. It is stipulated that every time the Jin envoy went to the Song Dynasty court in Jiangnan to talk about affairs, the Emperor of Song had to leave the bed and descend to the imperial throne, and personally take over the letter of the Jin Dynasty to show the relationship between the monarch and the ministers. Zhao Gou and Qin Hui did this kind of etiquette very well and were very happy. The civil and military officials in the court could not stop him, and no one would stop him, and he would never show mercy! To a large extent, the tragedy of Han and Yue started here!
Zhao Group inherited the country and had to inherit the habits! Fortunately, when he was on duty, Wanyan Liang was invading the south, the monarch and his ministers fought and lost their moral integrity, and the diplomatic relations were cut off for several years, and no one mentioned this matter... But the Longxing peace agreement was reached, so these things could not be avoided! Every year when the Jin envoy arrived, he had to be downgraded to welcome him, be his nephew, and ask his uncle for his safety...
Is this more embarrassing to those who are determined to take revenge and have failed to take revenge? Zhao Guo was so embarrassed that he was so angry that he refused from the first time! He was so soft that he was sick and waited, and he didn't meet Jin Zhi. He was very hard and said he didn't like it, so he just said he didn't like it. I don't want to do it!
But "Dad" will appear instantly! The Supreme Emperor's eyes and ears are all over the court, and he knows everything that happens as soon as possible. He will order his "son" to do things according to the rules, otherwise he will go to the Golden Palace to greet him in person!
Filial piety... No violation says filial piety! Can Zhao Guo let his "father" come out and be humiliated? In fact, this kid is also a fool, so he never understands how much his "perverted father" likes such occasions...
Now, he could no longer hold it back. It just so happened that the state tax revenue was on track and he saved some money at hand, so Zhao Shen decided to do it immediately!
At this time, the anti-Jin hero Yu Yunwen finally came to the forefront! He proposed to send two people to the Jin Kingdom, hoping to ceremonies first and then soldiers, so that Jin Shizong could automatically agree to modify the above two unfair terms of "Henan" and "receiving calligraphy rituals"...
Prime Minister Chen Junqing expressed opposition to Yu Yunwen's decision. So on May 8, 1170, Chen Junqing dismissed from the prime minister.
This month, Emperor Xiaozong of Song summoned a famous anti-Jin hero, Xin Qiji, a poet of the generation. Xin Qiji discussed the situation in the north and south and the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in history to Zhao Shen, and wrote "Nine Discussions", "Three Asked Questions", and "Ten Discussions of Meiqin" to the court, discussing the principles of success or rebellion, the momentum of growth and decline, the length of skills, and the key points of the land.
On May 1st, the tradition of the Xixia people finally reached a climax! The concubine mother of Emperor Renzong Li Renxiao, the daughter of Ren Dejing, passed away last year, which made Ren Dejing step up to seize power!
Ren Dejing ordered Xia Renzong to assign the southwest road in the Xixia Kingdom and the Luopangling land in Lingzhou to himself as the direct jurisdiction of the Chu Kingdom, and forced Xia Renzong to send envoys to the sect leader, Jin Kingdom, to offer tribute to him and ask for a canonization. At this moment, everyone cheered! The things that the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty could not accomplish in the past dynasties were done by a Han Ren Dejing! He actually split the Western Xia and obtained half of the territory of the Dangxiang people!
When the Xia envoy came to the Jin Kingdom, the Minister of State Li Shi and others said, "This is the internal affairs of that country, what does it have to do with me? It is better to agree to it." But Jin Shizong did not think so, "Who is the ruler of the country willing to divide the country without reason! This must be forced to take it away by the powerful ministers, which is not the original intention of the Xia lord! Moreover, the Xia Kingdom has been proclaimed for a long time, and once it is forced to be the robbers, I will be the lord of the four seas. I would rather let this go! If he cannot be corrected, he should be punished with troops, and he cannot be allowed." So he returned the tribute and gave an edict to Xia Renzong "the predecessors he had passed on, and he should be defended. Now I am asking for an order, and the matter is quite normal, and the origin of the reason is unknown. We should send envoys to inquire." Wanyan Yong refused to admit the so-called "Chu" state and clearly stated: If Li Renxiao needs help, the Jin Kingdom will support him! I suggest that Li Renxiao wants to kill the robbers!
After Ren Dejing learned the news, he immediately negotiated with his brothers Ren Deren and Ren Decong to respond to the situation. The threat from the Jin Dynasty made him need to find allies quickly, and only the Southern Song Dynasty on the East Asian continent had this qualification. He sent people to Sichuan again. This time he was lucky. It happened that Yu Yunwen was in charge of Shuchuan, preparing for the war and preparing for another northern expedition. The two sides hit it off, and Yu Yunwen immediately replied to agree. But this secret letter was intercepted by Xixia on the border! Li Renxiao, who received the support of the Jin Dynasty, intercepted the secret letter, which made the Southern Song Dynasty unable to know its own situation. The secret order was secretly ordered his brother Li Renyou to quickly mobilize troops and eliminate Ren Dejing's party!
On the 9th, Fan Chengda was appointed as the Jin Dynasty's envoy, and he was asked for the place to sleep in Henan tombs. He also decided to take two secret tasks of writing and rituals to set out north!
On this mission, Yu Yunwen recommended two candidates: one is Li Tao, secretary and deputy chief, and the other is Fan Chengda, a living man.
Li Tao is a joint teacher of all those who study Song history, a true master of Song history. He has written a lot in his life, including more than 50 books such as "Xunyan Collection", "General History of the Four Dynasties", and "Spring and Autumn Studies", most of which are scattered. Today, there are 50 volumes of "Xuzizhi Tongjian Changbian", 10 volumes of "Six Dynasties to Control the Gains and Loss of the Six Dynasties", and 10 volumes of "Shuowen Jiezi Five-tone Rhyme Book". These are all included in the "Siku Quanshu". It is no exaggeration to say: Without Li Tao's books, the history of the Song Dynasty would not be able to be studied. He is a real historical master. At least in terms of recording, he is a veritable treasure of the Chinese nation!
But in his job as an official, he was like Sima Guang, another master of the history of the Song Dynasty. He was very bastard! On weekdays, he spoke righteously and wanted to be the first in the world. This made Yu Yunwen appreciated him, thinking that this was a good man who was very passionate about history and had a passionate blood. So at the critical moment of his mission to the Jin Kingdom and competing for profit for the country and king, he was the first to recommend him. He thought that Li Tao would be generous and go to his home and country. However, Li Tao thought about this matter and said a very mature logic, "Prime Minister, if you send me to change the contract, the Jin people will definitely refuse! The Jin people refused, Tao would definitely fight against him, and that... Tao would die. The Prime Minister's move was actually killing Tao! The situation of death, why did he have to let Tao go?"
Yu Yunwen felt blushing, but she didn't see clearly that this guy actually had such a side! Li Tao, get out of here and write your history books!
Fan Chengda has another logic. Fan Chengda was born in 116, at that time he was nearly fifty years old. His official position was just a small living man. If there was anything he could do, it was his poems. He, together with Yang Wanli, Lu You and You Mao, he was called "the four major poets of the Southern Song Dynasty's revival."
Fan Chengda agreed to go on an envoy and was very calm. He said, "This envoy was not for the purpose of starting a war, so it was not in danger of life. However, the content mentioned was provocative, and it is estimated that long-term detention is very likely. That is equivalent to going out for a long time. The family in the capital has been settled and his Majesty is taking care of him, so what are you worried about?"
The same thing, different views... This is normal. What is abnormal is: in the general sense, everyone believes that reading history can make one's ambitions clear, improve the quality of the soul, and helps to grow into a positive person. However, in this matter, romantic poets and rigorous historical scholars have been in tune! Therefore, from ancient times to the present, passion has always been the first element of life!
According to regulations, Fan Chengda must first inform Jinting of the reason for his envoy. After arriving in the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom accompanied the officials to review the relevant letters of the country, and then officially held a ceremony to submit the letter of the country.
But what is not stipulated is that when he entered the imperial court of the Jin Dynasty, another letter of nationality was hidden in Fan Chengda's sleeve. That was the real incident of his mission this time! This is also unacceptable. The previous legal procedures were linked together, and what should be done and what could be done was already stipulated in the initial stage, so don't try to take advantage of loopholes!
If he dared to say at the first time, "There is such a letter to the national letter from Henan Province," Jin Guo would directly refuse, and he would not mention the schedule at all!
On the 1st, Chen Liangyou, Minister of Personnel, submitted a memorial, "I sent an envoy to start the provocation. If the enemy cavalry invaded the south, the supply and transportation have not expired. The generals and generals were vulgar and lacked long-term plans, who could envoy? I have not dared to protect my integrity! Now I am seeking land to gain Henan. I returned to the territory, but I did not follow it and lost it. If I did not allow it, I would just spend money. If I promised me, I would ask for a lot of money. Your Majesty asked himself: Can I give a speech to you? Besides, I only asked for a tomb, and the land was in it. I have also discussed this in the past, and I have read the letter of reply, and it was almost a joke. If Your Majesty insisted on sending an envoy, I thought I should take Qinzong's coffin as an invitation, and I would be a lyricist." Song Xiaozong issued an edict: Chen Liangyou was arbitrarily discussing, unfaithful and unfilial, demoted to live in Yunzhou, and was later converted to Xinzhou.
Perhaps Ren Dejing still habitually thought that his grandson would have turned to the Jin Kingdom as before, and treated Wanyan Yong as a trash can, and then he would not settle it. The king of Chu continued to dream of expansion. So the Western Xia royal family invited him to talk about it, and he went there. This was his last social engagement in his life! In August, Li Renyou designed to hunt down Ren Dejing's brothers, and then killed all his followers. The emerging Chu Kingdom was instantly destroyed. Li Renyou was awarded the title of King of Yue for his merits.
In September, Fan Chengda arrived in the Jin Kingdom.
On this day, at the imperial court of the Jin Dynasty, the procedures for receiving the Song envoy were walking step by step. Wanyan Bao sat calmly on the dragon throne, seemingly listening but not listening, wandering around. It is not surprising that as the monarch of the superior country, he did not speak a word, but was furious, and he would do whatever he wanted, without having to be careful like the Southern Song Dynasty, waiting for the call...
But this day was destined to be his depressed day! I felt it was time to finish work, but suddenly the envoy of the Song Dynasty bowed again and took out another letter of nationality from his sleeve. Without waiting for the presentation, he immediately read out the content of the letter of nationality loudly! Fan Cheng's voice was loud and cleared, declaring the reasons for the Southern Song Dynasty's request to return the cemetery of Henan Province, and questioned that the two countries were no longer the relationship between the monarch and the ministers, but the relationship between uncle and nephew. So is it appropriate to still receive the rituals as before?
The Jinting was silent and then exploded. Without saying anything, Wanyan stood up from the dragon throne with a cheerful look! According to historical records, this is unique! This Wanyan is different from those in the past, and has always been graceful and calm. But at this time he was really angry. This was a major insult to him and the Great Jin Kingdom! Since the founding of the Jurchens, they have never bullied others and have never been contemptuous of any race. Especially the cowardly and timid Song Dynasty people dared to make their own decisions and come to his imperial court to set rules and regulations! This is something that has never been done before!
Jin Shizong yelled angrily, "Is this the court where you presented books without authorization? No envoy dared to be so arrogant." He ordered Fan Chengda to voluntarily take back the letter of the country and apologize in the palace!
Fan Chengda doesn't care, "If this national letter is not reported, I will die when I go back. Instead of dying by humiliating the king's order, it's better to die here."
Wanyan Bao was shocked, it turned out that you were still an angry young man? But even though you are so rare, you still have to abide by the rules! Let's go down and apologize honestly! At this time, the Golden Palace was in chaos. When the emperor roared, every Jin minister also began to roar! Fan Cheng, a great-ranking official from Jiangnan, was submerged in such an angry ocean, and remained calm from beginning to end...
Fan Cheng used facts to prove that he did what he said. He would rather die than take back his letter of nationality. Even if he died in the imperial court of the Jin Dynasty, he would never be humiliated to return to his country! So stubborn, according to the traditional habits of Wanyan and others, he was basically dead?
On that day, a large number of Jinting warriors were indeed surrounded by him, headed by Prince Wanyan Yungong. Just waiting for the emperor's order, Fan Chengda was directly turned into Jiangnan's specialty meat sauce!
But he couldn't wait for the order. Wanyan Bao stood in front of the dragon throne in anger. Time passed by little by little, and his expression gradually calmed down. Wanyan Bao was calm and rational, and his mind and demeanor were definitely beyond this era...
Chapter completed!
