Ye Jun was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "General Tang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. I will lead the army to clear the emperor and remove Tong Guan. If he is really guilty, the Holy Emperor will order his property to be confiscated. If this If the money can be used as military expenditure, more weapons can be made. Soldiers who have weapons can go into battle to kill the gold thieves. Also, Tong Guan's downfall can deter other corrupt officials, so our actions are to save the country. Tang Why does the general say that we are helping the gold thieves?" Tang Feng said: "You launched a mutiny and rushed to the palace to detain the royal family members. If the Holy One orders you to be suppressed, no matter what the final result is, the power of the Song Army will be lost. If the Jin Army If you get the information and take advantage of it, the consequences will be disastrous. What are you doing if you're not helping the Jin army? General Han Shizhong has already arrived with his troops. Plus other troops, do you think you have a chance of winning?" Listened. After Tang Feng's words, Ye Jun lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Tang Feng saw that he was beginning to waver, so he added fuel to the fire and shouted at the rebel soldiers with a tin trumpet: "Brothers, you also want to fight with Ye Jun Are you going to help the Jin Army as well?" After hearing Tang Feng's words, the rebel soldiers started talking a lot, and some of them put down their weapons and left the team.
Ye Jun saw that the soldiers were starting to waver, and saw Tang Feng's troops with strong bows and crossbows aimed at him and his soldiers. He also thought that Han Shizhong was coming with his troops. If there was a fight, he and Chen Fei would definitely not be opponents. , and more importantly, once a fight breaks out, he may be accused of being an accomplice of the Jin Army.
Thinking of this, Ye Jun said to Tang Feng: "General Tang, I agree to put down my arms." Then he got off his horse, handed his sword to Tang Feng, and sent someone to notify Chen Fei who was staying in the palace, asking him to release the detained royal family. members and came to plead guilty.
Tang Feng ordered: "Come here, tie up Ye Jun and hand him over to the Holy Lord." Then he reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the rebels have laid down their weapons." The emperor ordered: "Bring the rebel leaders Ye Jun and Chen Fei to justice. Send them to Dali Temple for investigation." After the two rebel leaders were taken away, Song Qinzong returned to the palace under the protection of the army led by Wang Yuan.
A few days later, the emperor issued an imperial edict: In accordance with God's destiny, the emperor's edict said that the traitor Tong Guan had embezzled money and perverted the law, deducted military pay, and triggered a mutiny. It was a heinous crime and unforgivable. The law should be punished on the spot to set the record straight.
The rebel leaders Ye Jun and Chen Fei led their troops to attack the palace, endangering the safety of the city. They cannot be forgiven. However, considering that there was a reason for their actions, they were given a lighter punishment. They were demoted to civilian positions and never hired again. I admire this.
In addition, the emperor also issued an imperial edict to commend Tang Feng, Wang Yuan and others for their meritorious service in the mutiny.
