Chapter 47: The Death of Jin State (3)
Huangfu Yu did not participate in the planning of Dewey's surrender.
The Khitan sent Huangfu Yuxian to lead his troops into Daliang, but he refused. After retreating, he said to his confidants: "As a general and prime minister, I cannot die after being defeated. How can I bear to seek a monarch again!"
When the soldiers arrived at Pingji, they said to the person who followed him: "I haven't eaten for several days, so what else can I go south!" So they pinched their throats and died.
Afterwards, Zhang Yanze ran day and night, crossing Baimajin at night.
On the 16th, when the emperor came out, he realized that Dewey and others had surrendered. In the evening of that day, he heard that Zhang Yanze had arrived in Huazhou, so he summoned Li Song, Feng Yu and Li Yantao to the palace to discuss matters, intending to order Liu Zhiyuan to raise an army to rescue the capital.
On the 17th, before dawn, Zhang Yanze broke through Fengqiu Gate and rushed into the city. Li Yantao led 500 imperial guards to meet the enemy, but could not stop them. Zhang Yanze was stationed outside Mingde Gate and was in chaos in the city.
The Khitan fought in, and the palace in the city was in chaos. The emperor set off a fire in the palace. He carried his sword to drive away the dozen people in the harem jumped into the fire and was hugged by the personal general Xue Chao.
After a while, Zhang Yanze sent a letter from the Khitan Lord to the Empress Dowager from outside Kuanren Gate to show comfort, and summoned Sang Weihan and Jing Yanguang to come.
The emperor then ordered the fire to be put out and opened all the palace gates. He sat in the imperial garden and gathered with his concubines and cried, summoning Hanlin scholar Fan Zhi to draft a surrender.
He claimed to himself: "Sun Nanchen is very noble, and the disaster comes, and the gods and ghosts are confused; the fortune has been exhausted and destined to perish. Now, with the Queen Mother and his wife Feng, the whole clan is tied back and arranged in the countryside, waiting for the punishment of the crime.
He sent his son Shi Yanxu, the governor of Zhenning, and Shi Yanbao, the governor of the prestige, to present a national treasure and three golden seals to welcome him. "The Empress Dowager also wrote a letter to call him "the concubine of the bride Li".
Fu Zhu'er entered the palace to declare the order of the Khitan Lord. The emperor from the Later Jin Dynasty took off his yellow robe, put on plain clothes, and bowed again to obey the announcement. The attendants in the palace covered their faces and cried.
The emperor from the Later Jin Dynasty sent someone to summon Zhang Yanze to discuss matters with him, but Zhang Yanze said, "I have no shame to see Your Majesty." The emperor sent him to summon him again, but he just smiled and refused to agree.
On the 18th, Zhang Yanze moved the emperor to Kaifeng Prefecture, and did not allow him to stay for a moment. The palace cried loudly. The emperor and the empress dowager were sitting on their shoulders, and the palace servants and eunuchs followed him on foot.
Everyone who saw him on the road shed tears. The emperor took away all the gold, silver and jewelry from the inner treasury. Zhang Yanze sent someone to persuade him, "When the Khitan Lord came, these things could not be hidden."
The emperor sent all these treasures back to the inner treasury and also divided some of them to Zhang Yanze; Zhang Yanze selected the rare treasures and sealed the rest for the Khitan.
Zhang Yanze sent Li Yun, the commander of the crane, to lead troops to guard the emperor. The emperor's contact with the outside world was not connected. The emperor's aunt, Princess Wu, bribed the janitor, came in and said goodbye to the emperor, and then returned home and hanged himself.
The emperor and the empress dowager gave the Khitan lord all the letters they wrote to Zhang Yanze first before they dared to issue them.
Shi Chonggui felt very uncomfortable when the country was destroyed and his family was destroyed. He asked someone to take a few pieces of silk from the warehouse, but the person in charge of the warehouse refused to give it to him, saying, "This is not your thing."
He asked Li Song for wine again, but Li Song also refused to send it for other reasons. He wanted to see Li Yantao again, but Li Yantao could not refuse. The emperor was sad for a long time.
On the 23rd, Shi Yanxu and Shi Yanbao returned from the tent. The Khitan Lord gave the emperor a handwritten edict and sent Jie Li to the emperor and said to the emperor: "Don't worry, grandson, you will definitely have a place to eat."
The emperor felt a little at ease and expressed his gratitude.
Earlier, the Khitan Lord came to Xiangzhou and immediately sent troops to Heyang to capture Jing Yanguang. Jing Yanguang had nowhere to escape and hide, so he went to Fengqiu to meet the Khitan Lord.
The Khitan master asked him, "It is all your things that lead to the discord between the two masters! Where is the '100,000-sharpening sword' you said?"
Qiao Rong was summoned to let them defend each other and testify. There were ten things in total. Jing Yanguang was dissatisfied at first, so Qiao Rong showed him the words recorded on the paper. Jing Yanguang accepted it and gave him a bargaining chip for every time he admitted something.
When he reached the eighth place to make a bargaining chip, Jing Yanguang could only put his face on the ground and asked for death, so he was imprisoned.
On the thirty days, all civil and military officials stayed in Fengchan Temple.
In less than two months, the Later Jin Dynasty in history was destroyed. Shi Jingtang's thoughts and his children and grandchildren did not understand at all. Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures were given in vain.
Such a big incident happened in the imperial court, and the people were not spared. The army entered the city and began to loot. Although Guo Erniu's family hid in seclusion, they were almost discovered.
On the first day of the first lunar month of the following year, all the civil and military officials of the Later Jin Dynasty fare to the Emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty fare far away from the north of Daliang City, and then changed to white clothes and gauze hats to welcome the Khitan Lord Yelu Deguang, all of whom were surrendering and apologizing on the side of the road.
The Khitan master wore a sable hat, a sable fur, and a iron armor. He immediately stood above Gaogang and ordered the surrendered officials to stand up, change their clothes, and comfort them.
The left guard general An Shuqian and his men stood up from the ranks of all officials and spoke Hu to the Khitan master Yelu Deguang.
The Khitan Lord said: "Are you the word "An Wu"? When you went to guard Xingzhou, you had expressed your loyalty to me many times, but I didn't forget it."
Uncle An cheered and jumped and thanked him and retreated.
The emperor and the queen mother were greeted outside Fengqiu Gate. The Khitan Lord refused to see him. When he entered the Daliang City Gate, the people ran away in surprise.
The Khitan Lord climbed the city tower and ordered the translator to tell the people: "I am also a human being, don't be afraid! I want you to rest and recuperate. I have no intention of coming south. It was the Han soldiers who led me here."
When he arrived at Mingde Gate, the Khitan Lord dismounted and kowtowed, then entered the palace, and ordered his deputy Privy Councilor Liu Mi to act as the agent of Kaifeng Yin.
At sunset, the Khitan ruler withdrew from the capital and stationed troops in Chigang.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, the Khitan conferred the emperor as the Marquis of Fuyi and placed it in Huanglong Mansion, which was the Helong City of the former Murong clan.
The Khitan Lord sent someone to say to Empress Dowager Li: "I heard that Chonggui did not obey his mother's orders and ended up today. You can do it for yourself and don't walk with him."
The Empress Dowager said, "I am very respectful to serve you. His mistake was that he violated the will of his ancestors and cut off the friendship between the two countries.
I am fortunate to receive great kindness and save my life and life. Where can I find my destination as a mother, without following my son!”
On the seventh day of the lunar month, the Khitan moved the Emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty and his family to Fengchan Temple, and sent Cui Tingxun, the governor of Datong and Shizhong, a native of Hanoi, to lead troops to guard it.
The Khitan Lord sent envoys to visit and greet him many times. Whenever the emperor from the Later Jin Dynasty heard that the envoys arrived, the whole family was frightened and worried.
It was raining for more than ten days, and the supply was cut off outside the temple, and the whole family was cold and hungry. Empress Dowager Li sent someone to say to the monks in the temple: "I have provided vegetarian food for tens of thousands of monks here. Isn't anyone remembering me?"
The monk refused to say that "the Khitan was unpredictable and did not dare to offer food." The emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty had to secretly beg for the guards to get some food.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, the Khitan lord changed his clothes and clothes in Zhongyuan. All civil and military officials went to court and retired from court according to the old rules and regulations.
At the beginning, after Du Chongwei restored his old name, Du Chongwei led the Later Jin army to surrender to the Khitan, the Khitan Lord confiscated all the weapons and armor, including millions of them, and stored them in Hengzhou.
He sent tens of thousands of generals to return to the north, and sent Du Chongwei to lead his troops to follow him south.
When he arrived at the bank of the Yellow River, the Khitan Lord saw that there were too many soldiers surrendered by the Later Jin Dynasty. He was afraid of causing trouble and wanted to use his own cavalry to drive them all into the Yellow River.
Someone advised: "There are still many Jin soldiers everywhere. When they hear that they surrendered, they will definitely resist to the end. It is better to appease them first and then slowly think of a complete solution."
The Khitan Lord sent Du Chongwei to lead his surrendered troops to station in Chenqiao. It was snowing for many days and the officials did not provide food and salary. The soldiers were cold and hungry, and they all resented Du Chongwei and cried together. Every time Du Chongwei left the tent, the soldiers beside the road scolded him.
The Khitan Lord still wanted to kill the surrendered soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty. Zhao Yanshou said to him: "The emperor personally led his troops to seize the Jin Dynasty with flying arrows and rocks. Do he want to possess it himself or to seize it for others?"
The Khitan Lord's face suddenly changed: "I have led the nation to fight south and have not been disguised for five years. I have just obtained it. How can I do it for others!"
Zhao Yanshou said: "There is Tang in the south of Jin and Shu in the west. They often become enemies of each other, right? Do the emperor know that?"
The Khitan Lord replied: "I know."
Zhao Yanshou said: "The Jin State starts from Yizhou and Mizhou in the east, and goes to Qinzhou and Fengzhou in the west, and extends for thousands of miles. The border is connected with Wu and Shu, and troops are often sent to guard it.
