At this time, Zhu Xi, who was in charge of Nanyue Temple, was summoned to join the team. Zhu Xi, whose courtesy name was Yuan Hui, was born in Wuyuan County, South Huizhou. He was born in Youxi County, Jianzhou, Lunan, and his nickname was Shen Lang. When Zhu Xi was born, he had seven black moles on the corner of his right eye. The arrangement is like the Beidou. In the fifth year of Shaoxing, when he was five years old, Zhu Xi began to attend primary school and could read the "Book of Filial Piety". He wrote on the front of the book to encourage himself: "If you don't do this, you will not be a human being." When he was six years old, Zhu Xi and Qun'er When he was playing, he drew the Eight Diagrams with his fingers on the sandbank in front of Zheng's residence. His father Zhu Song once pointed at the sun and said: "This is the sun." Zhu Xi asked: "Where is the sun?" Zhu Song replied: "It is attached to the sky. Zhu Xi asked again: "What is in the sky?" Zhu Song was surprised when he asked.

Zhu Song was summoned to the capital. Before going to the capital, he sent his wife Zhu and Zhu Xi to live in Pucheng, Jianzhou. Zhu Song died of illness in Jian'ou. Before his death, he entrusted Zhu Xi to his friend Liu Ziyu, the fifth husband of Chong'an, and wrote a letter to invite the fifth husband's wife. Liu Zihui, Liu Mianzhi and Hu Xian, three well-educated friends, educated Zhu Xi on his behalf. Liu Ziyu regarded Zhu Xi as his own son and built a room next to his house to accommodate Zhu Xi's family.

When Zhu Xi was eighteen years old, he was admitted as a tribute student in the Jianzhou Township Examination. In the spring of the eighteenth year of Shaoxing, Liu Mianzhi betrothed his daughter Liu Qingsi to Zhu Xi. In March of the same year, Zhu Xi entered the capital imperial examination and ranked fifth, first and ninth in the imperial examination. Ten of them were granted the title of Jinshi by birth, and were awarded the title of Zuo Di Gonglang, the chief registrar of Tong'an County in Quanzhou.

On his way to Tong'an, Zhu Xi studied under Li Dong of Yanping. In July, Zhu Xi arrived in Tong'an. He managed the county affairs and arranged Tong'an with his county governance method of "upholding etiquette and righteousness, respecting customs, impeaching officials and traitors, and caring for the people." In the fierce struggle between the two counties of Jinjiang, they rectified the county schools, advocated the construction of "Jiaosi Hall", advocated the construction of "Jingshi Pavilion" in Dacheng Hall of the Confucian Temple, and advocated the reduction of the economic system.

Zhu Xi had realized that "the world's trend of seeking immortality in vain was demoralizing the people, dissipating national power, and hindering the rejuvenation of the country." He planned to embark on the path of seeking teachers again, determined to worship Li Tong as his teacher, and inherit the orthodoxy of Ercheng's "Luo School" , which laid the foundation for Zhu Xi's subsequent theories. After Zhu Xi returned from Tong'an, he did not seek official advancement and mainly engaged in education and writing activities. Song Xiaozong came to the throne and issued an imperial edict to seek the opinions of his subjects. Zhu Xi responded to the imperial edict and made an effort to advocate for the rebellion. He advocated opposing Buddhism and favoring Confucianism, and elaborated on his opinions on teaching principles, establishing plans for restoration, and appointing virtuous people to cultivate politics.

In October of the first year of Longxing, Zhu Xi responded to the imperial edict and went to the opposite Chui Gong Hall to present three letters to Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty: the first one discussed the study of sincerity and sincerity, the study of things to gain knowledge, and the opposition to the heresy of Lao Buddhism and Buddhism, and the second one discussed the foreign policy of fighting foreigners and Di. The righteousness of revenge was opposed to the peace proposal, and the three letters discussed the internal cultivation of political affairs and the opposition to favoring and trusting sycophants. At that time, Tang Si retired as prime minister and advocated peace negotiation. Zhu Xi's anti-golden proposal was not adopted. In November, the imperial court appointed Zhu Xi as a doctor of martial arts in the Imperial College .Zhu Xi refused to resign and asked the temple to be returned to Chong'an.

Chen Kangbo disagreed with Tang Si Tui, and he also asked to leave. Xiaozong approved the report, but actually appointed Tang Si Tui as Zuopu She, and appointed Zhang Jun as Youpu She, and he was still the governor of Jiang and Huai Army. The following year, he took over There was a side report that the envoy Hu Fang had been captured by the Jin people. Xiaozong couldn't help but sigh: "If the peace negotiation fails, it is probably God's will." So he summoned Wang Zhiwang and others to return to the court, and ordered Zhang Jun to inspect Jiang and Huaihe to rectify the army.

Tang Side was anxious secretly, and suddenly remembered that Zhao Gou was most afraid of the Jin soldiers, so he asked Xiaozong to report to Zhao Gou that he wanted to move Zhao Gou out to stop the use of troops. Xiaozong personally gave instructions and replied: "The Jin people are so rude, why do you still want to negotiate for peace? "What's more, the current enemy power is not comparable to Qin Hui's time. You are making peace day and night, but it is worse than Qin Hui." Tang Si retreated after receiving this approval, and he couldn't help but feel in his heart.

Hu Fang was greatly shocked. At this time, Hu Fang was released by the Jin people, so Tang Si retreated again with an excuse.

It turned out that Hu Fang arrived in the Kingdom of Jin, and the Jin people blamed the Song Dynasty for breaking their promise and detained him. Then Wanyanyong released him and asked him to go back to report to the Song court and properly discuss the peace talks. Tang Situi secretly instigated Wang Zhiwang and Hu Fang.

Minister Qian Duanli and others deliberately reported that the defense was insufficient and the treasury was empty. Please take Fuli's defeat as a lesson and cease the war and make peace.

Xiaozong then ordered Wang Zhiwang and Qian Duanli to both of them, issued an edict to the Huaihe River, and summoned Zhang Jun to serve as prime minister. Zhang Jun was building warships at this time and ordered the heroes of the two rivers to mobilize troops. At the same time, he ordered the general Xiao Qi to lead the surrender.

The soldiers sent a message to the Liao people, promising support. However, when the money arrived at Huaishang as a gift, they actually sent someone to report it, saying something like, "It's called guarding, but guarding is not necessary. It's called managing troops, but soldiers don't necessarily govern."

When Zhang Jun heard about it, he was very angry and annoyed. When he returned to Pingjiang, he begged for retirement eight times in total. Xiaozong then appointed Zhang Jun as a young master and a military governor of the Baoxin Army, and sent him to Fuzhou in the south. He served as censor Zhou Cao.

He asked to keep Zhang Jun, but was dismissed. Zhang Jun went to Yu Qian and became ill due to depression. When he was dying, he asked his son Zhang Shi in his suicide note. Zhang Shu said: "I once served as prime minister, but I could not restore the Central Plains and wash away the national humiliation.

, you should not bury me next to my ancestors’ tombs after death, but bury me at the foot of Hengshan Mountain.”

Soon his obituary reached the court. Xiaozong missed Zhang Jun's loyalty very much. He first gave him the title of Taibao, and then gave him the title of Taishi, Zhongxian. Zhang Jun had always had great ambitions and never advocated peace negotiations in his life. Xiaozong came to the throne, relied on him very much, and called him Wei.

It is a pity that Zhang Jun is more loyal and courageous than talented. Zhang Jun's father, Zhang Xian, settled in Mianzhu, Sichuan. His family has been famous for his virtues for generations. In the early years of Zhezong's Shaosheng reign, Zhang Xian once again took the preparatory examination for the system.

, Prime Minister Zhang Dun reviewed his countermeasures, and was furious because Zhang Xian did not criticize Yuanyou's policy errors during the period, and only appointed him as the judge of Jianxi. Zhang Xian lost the opportunity to further test.

Zhang Xian's official career was not going well, so he paid more and more attention to doing good deeds to accumulate blessings for future generations. One day when he was taking a nap, he dreamed of a god descending from the sky and said to Zhang Xian: "God will let your son be named as a prime minister with virtue.

"Zhang Xian woke up in shock. Soon, Zhang Jun was born. At that time, Zhang Xian's elder brother had been named Zhang Huang. Zhang Xian did not want to change Zhang Huang's name, so he named Zhang Jun and gave him the courtesy name Deyuan.

.

Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan once hired someone to assassinate Zhang Jun. When Zhang Jun was in Xiuzhou, the security was very tight. Once a guest came to him at night, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and said: "This is Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan recruited an assassin."

The reward for assassinating you." Zhang Jun asked: "Then what do you want to do?" The man said: "I am from Hebei, I am not well-educated, and I know how to be rebellious and obedient. How can I be used by thieves? I see that you are not well guarded, I am afraid that something will happen later.

That's all." Zhang Jun took the hand of this righteous assassin and asked his name, but left without telling him.

Zhang Jun offended Qin Hui and was demoted to Lingling. He only took a few boxes of old things with him. Qin Hui falsely accused Zhang Jun and the old Shu tribe of plotting rebellion letters in them, thinking that after confiscating his home, he could at least find some of them.

It was a private property that was not good for Zhang Jun. Zhao Gou, the cowardly king, sent someone to copy it, but when he opened it in the court hall, he only saw some books. Although there were also letters, they were filled with words of concern for the country and love for the emperor. In addition, they were shabby clothes.

Zhao Gou, the foolish king, had an accident and was very moved. He said: I didn't expect Zhang Jun to be so poor. So he sent an envoy

Qin Hui chased him and gave him three hundred taels of gold. Qin Hui also announced that he was going to give Zhang Jun death, hoping that Zhang Jun would react wrongly and commit suicide or rebel. When the news reached Lingling, Zhang Jun's family cried, and Zhang Jun said: " Of course my crime deserves death. If it is like what is said outside, it will be okay to apologize to the country after death. Why are you crying?" Zhang Jun asked who the messenger was and said he was the son of the palace commander Yang Cunzhong. Zhang Jun said: "I There is no need to die, Yang Cunzhong is my old subordinate. If the court wants to grant me death, it will definitely send someone else." Soon the envoy arrived, read out Zhao Gou's imperial edict, and rewarded Zhang Jun with three hundred taels of gold.

After Zhang Jun's death, there was one less capable general who opposed the peace treaty. So Tang Si retired and asked to send Zongzheng Shaoqing Wei Qi to the Jin Kingdom. Emperor, the annual coin is 200,000. Xiaozong said to Wei Qi face to face: "Now I am sending you to the Jin Dynasty to negotiate peace. The first is to clear your name, the second is to withdraw the army, the third is to reduce the annual coin, and the fourth is not to send back the people who have returned to you." Qi went to Chen Shiqi again, and with Xiaozong's permission, he kowtowed and said goodbye: "I have been ordered to send an envoy, how dare you not do so? If the enemy is greedy, please advance quickly." Xiaozong agreed. Wei Qi withdrew from the court and reorganized to the north. go.

Hu Quan went to the shu again and said: "If the peace is reached, there are ten things to mourn. If the peace is not reached, there are ten things to celebrate." He also said, "If you can't bow to me again, you will definitely become a minister. If you don't continue to worship me, you will definitely ask for surrender. Please surrender." If the emperor keeps surrendering, he must accept the soil. If the emperor cannot accept the soil, he must have a holy chariot. If the holy chariot is not available, he must be like Emperor Huai of the Jin Dynasty, drinking wine, and then having a good time. Today, the ministers in the court are like women. I would rather be exiled, but not "May the imperial court be humiliated" and other words.

When Xiaozong saw it, he did not reply or accuse him. The most hateful thing was Tang Situi. He was afraid that the peace talks would fail, so he secretly sent his confidant Sun Zao to sneak to the Jin army and persuade them to use heavy troops to threaten peace. So he Marshal Pu San Zhongyi and others of the Jin Kingdom also discussed crossing the Huaihe River and launching a large-scale invasion southward. The Song Dynasty was alerted and became anxious. Tang Si returned the command to the censor Yin Yi, impeached and dismissed more than 20 officials who opposed the peace agreement. people.

Suddenly Xiaozong issued an edict, ordering Tang Si to retreat to the governor of Jiang and the Huai army. He was a man who thought about surrender every day. If he was asked to betray his country and seek glory, he was a good man. How could he be asked to become a marshal? Tang Si retreat was frightened. Shocked, he hurriedly entered the court and refused, so Xiaozong ordered Yang Cunzhong to replace him. As soon as Yang Cunzhong took office, he heard that the Jin soldiers had captured Chuzhou and Wei Sheng was killed in the battle. Yang Cunzhong rushed to the Huaihe River and almost had no time to defend.

Besides, Wei Qi was ordered to go on an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin. Marshal Pu San Zhongyi of the Kingdom of Jin asked to see the credentials. Wei Qi replied that the credentials had been sealed by the emperor and he had to meet the gold owner before he could submit them in court. Pu San Zhongyi estimated that the credentials were not enough. According to the format required by the Jin Kingdom, they also requested the cession of the Shang and Qin states, as well as the annual coins of 200,000 yuan. Wei Qi sent people to report to Xiaozong, and in accordance with Tang Situi's opinion, he agreed to cede the four states and the annual coins of 200,000 yuan. Then he changed the credentials and handed them to Wei Qi to take with him.
