…

Zhao Gou and his group, after leaving Beijing, drove all the way north.

In order to commend Zhao Gou's qualities and spirit of relieving his worries for the country and not fearing life and death, Zhao Huan promoted Zhao Gou's mother Wanrong Wei to the concubine of Longde Palace, that is, Concubine Wei, and Zhao Gou was the governor of Anguo and Anwu Jie.

After Zhao Gou and his group arrived in Xiangzhou, Wang Boyan, the governor of Xiangzhou, immediately led troops out to welcome him to protect Zhao Gou and others into the city. At this time, the Jin army had already crossed the Yellow River. In the area of ​​Junzhou Wei County, southwest of Xiangzhou, there were Jin soldiers stationed, less than a hundred miles away from Xiangzhou.

What Zhao Gou didn't know was that Wanyan Zonghan had sent a team of 400 cavalry to Junzhou to welcome Zhao Gou who was sent to the north.

At the ferry crossing on the bank of the Yellow River, the Jin soldiers inquired about the whereabouts of Zhao Gou and his party from the ferrymen.

The ferryman told the Jin soldiers that it was already exhausted for King Kang to cross the river.

The Jin soldiers then sent a group of cavalry north to chase after them.

On the way, I happened to meet inspector Ren Yongji.

Ren Yongji's statement is consistent with the ferryman's statement.

The Jin soldiers then gave up chasing Zhao Gou and his party.

It can be said that Zhao Gou's trip is really dangerous. If he is found by those 400 golden cavalry, Zhao Gou will not be able to escape the fate of being captured and heading north.

Zhao Gou and his group set out from Xiangzhou and continued northward to Cizhou (later generation Ci County, Hebei).

Knowing that the Jin army had already crossed the Yellow River, Zhao Gou still wanted to continue to go north to Cizhou for two reasons:

First, he went to Cizhou to investigate Zongze and Zongze once reported that Cizhou had 15,000 troops and kept reporting that many Jin people had been eliminated. Zhao Huan did not know whether Zongze's statement was true or false, so he sent Zhao Gou to check it out.

Second, he went to Cuifujun Temple in Cizhou to burn incense and worship, and asked Cuifujun to bless the Song Dynasty forever.

Zong Ze soon received news that Zhao Gou came to Cizhou, so he personally led the officials of Cizhou to welcome Zhao Gou six or seven miles away from Cizhou City.

After Zhao Gou came, all the officials in Cizhou stood on the left side of the road and performed the ceremony of paying homage.

Zong Ze directly advised Zhao Gou, "King Su will never return, and now the Jin people are making tricks to attract the king. The Jin soldiers are approaching, so what's the point of going? I hope not to do it!"

Zhao Gou said without comment: "Where is the army now going to the camp? The emperor has an oral order to ask me to investigate the situation of the military camp."

Zong Ze replied: "The army and soldiers took leave and went home to wash. If the enemy arrived, they would be summoned immediately. Usually they were in the mountain village, but if they were in a hurry, they would be summoned, so that they would be fine and food."

Zhao Gou felt that Zong Ze was lying, but he did not expose it on the spot, he just looked back at his entourage, laughed and said nothing.

The last time Wang Yun returned to Beijing from Wanyan Zongwang's army, he passed by Cizhou.

At that time, Wang Yun felt that the Jin people were likely to go south, so he suggested that Zong Ze be strong and clear the countryside and not leave any food and grass for the Jin people.

Zong Ze therefore ordered residents outside the city of Cizhou to transport all the grains and other items to the city.

People in Cizhou knew that this was Wang Yun’s suggestion, so they were very resentful to Wang Yun.

Not long ago, the Jin army went south and did not go from Cizhou, but crossed the river from Daming Ligu.

The people of Cizhou said one after another: "The enemy did not come from here, why should we clear the fields? We destroyed our walls and houses, and we did not have my food. Wang Yun was probably a fine work by the Jin people."

Zong Ze also suspected that Wang Yun was a detailed work by the Jin people, and even wrote a letter to Zhao Huan: "Wang Yun traveled back and forth between the Jin army many times and was familiar with the Jin people. I am afraid that he would seek benefits for the Jin people and betray the country, so he should not be deceived."

For some reason, Zhao Huan actually gave Zong Ze's memorial to Wang Yun.

When Wang Yun saw Zong Ze in Cizhou, he took out this memorial for Zong Ze to show it and asked, "Why is this?" Then he blamed Zong Ze very much and accused Zong Ze of defrauding the court, saying, "You report to the emperor that 15,000 people went to the camp to defraud the position of editor. Now, there is nothing wrong with it."

Zong Ze was scolded by Wang Yun in public and couldn't help but feel angry!

However, in front of Zhao Gou, Zong Ze did not dare to have an attack.

Zong Ze knew that the people of Cizhou were very resentful to Wang Yun, so he sent someone to spread the word in the city and said, "Wang Yun is indeed a meticulous work. Tomorrow, he will take the prince to the captive court to seek merit and reward."

When the people of Cizhou heard about it, they were furious and beat Wang Yun to death. Some mobs even fled into the prefecture's house to take away the gifts given to the Jin army by Wang Yun Xingfu and Zhao Huan. They also robbed them all. They also grabbed one of Wang Yun's followers, tied up and beat them up. The important documents such as the letter of the country, the letter of the Su palace, and the letter of the eldest princess to Cao Duwei were all lost.

When Wang Yun was ordered to go to the Jin army, he told his family that he would sacrifice his ancestors in the future. He would probably not go home and would probably die for state affairs.

In addition, Wang Yun's brother Wang Ji served as an editor of the Right Lecture Department. He was demoted to the island for his faults due to Tong Guan and Cai Jing's fault. Later, Zhao Huan restored his official position and ordered him to follow Zhong Shizhong to rescue Taiyuan. He was defeated and died, which was considered loyalty to the country.

(In history, after Zhao Gou ascended the throne, he rehabilitated Wang Yun, believing that Wang Yun was a loyal minister who was diligent in national affairs and loyal to the Song Dynasty.)

The crazy behavior of the Cizhou mob openly killing the imperial ambassador shocked Zhao Gou and then wanted to escape from Cizhou.

But the people of Cizhou stopped Zhao Gou from going north.

The crazy behavior of the mob in Cizhou to kill Wang Yun was shocked. Therefore, Zhao Gou was afraid of following Wang Yun's footsteps, so he pretended to say, "Don't go north anymore." Then he was carried back to the city by the people of Cizhou.

According to the horse exploration report, Wang Boyan learned that the Jin people sent cavalry to find Zhao Gou's traces.

Wang Boyan felt that Zhao Gou's situation was very dangerous, so he hurriedly sent someone to Pizhou and asked Zhao Gou to return to Xiangzhou as soon as possible.

Wang Boyan then felt something was wrong, so he sent Wuyi doctor Liu Hao to lead 2,000 cavalrymen to Cizhou to greet Zhao Gou.

Since Wang Yun was beaten to death and all important documents were lost, Zhao Gou, Geng Yanxi, Gao Shize and others were frightened and nervous, Geng Yanxi and Gao Shize felt that Cizhou was too unsafe, so they suggested that Zhao Gou return to Xiangzhou, report the truth, and then stand by in Xiangzhou.

Zhao Gou also believed that the ghost place in Cizhou could not be left to stay.

But is Xiangzhou surely safe?

Just when Zhao Gou was hesitating, he happened to receive a wax book sent by someone from Wang Boyan.

After seeing it, Zhao Gou was overjoyed and immediately decided to return to Xiangzhou.

Zhao Gou felt that it was too dangerous to take the original path, so he allowed the Korean Gongren to find another way back to Xiangzhou.

Their group got up quietly in the middle of the night and set off secretly.

Shortly after leaving Cizhou City, Zhao Gou and others happened to meet Liu Hao and his men to pick him up.

It was not until this time that Zhao Gou, Geng Yanxi, Gao Shize and others felt a little secure.

Wang Boyan was dressed in military uniform and shoulders and shoulders, leading a thousand personal soldiers to greet Zhao Gou on the Anyang River outside Xiangzhou.

After seeing this scene, Zhao Gou was very moved and said, "When he meets the emperor again, he will recommend you as Jingzhao Yin first."

From then on, Wang Boyan began to be appreciated and valued by Zhao Gou.

When dawn was approaching, Zhao Gou arrived safely in Xiangzhou City.

People from Cizhou, including Zong Ze, were unaware of this.

As soon as he arrived in Xiangzhou, Zhao Gou ordered Geng Yanxi to draft a memorial, which was the general meaning: I was envoyed to go north, and just arrived in Cizhou, the people in Cizhou killed Wang Yun, but the people were uneasy and refused to go north. He also heard that the enemy troops had crossed south, so I returned to Xiangzhou to wait for the sage to be adjudicated.

After the memorial was drafted, Zhao Gou ordered someone to send the memorial back to Tokyo Bianliang.

From then on, Zhao Gou lived in Xiangzhou...
