Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren and other generals led their troops to the northern suburbs of Yanjing. They had just arranged their formations when Wanyan Zongwang also followed the Jin soldiers and horses to the northern suburbs of Yanjing. Pharmacist Guo arranged his formation not to fight Wanyan Zongwang, but to defect to Wanyan Zongwang. Immediately, Pharmacist Guo sent an envoy holding a white flag to contact Wanyan Zongwang. Wanyan Zongwang met with Guo Yaoshi's envoys and allowed Guo Yaoshi to surrender. Guo Yaoshi then surrendered to the Jin Kingdom with the Wutai Army of the Song Dynasty, and invited Wanyan Zongwang to lead his own guards into the city.
Pharmacist Guo and Wanyan Zongwang entered Yanjing, and asked Wanyan Zongwang to sit down in the Yamen Hall of the Military Governor of Wutai Army. He went to the side room himself, and had Cai Jing released from being tied up in the side room, and said to him: "Cai Tongzhi , I'm really sorry. I have already submitted to the Kingdom of Jin. Now the second prince of the Kingdom of Jin is sitting in my hall. , I recommend that we become officials in the same court again and share the wealth and honor; if you return to the court, I will not stop you and let you follow your heart." Cai Jing looked at the doctor Guo who had betrayed the court and joined the Jin Kingdom, and knew what to say. There was no use for anything, so he said: "Everyone has his own opinions, and everyone has his own ambitions. Taiwei Guo must defect to the Jin people. I can't stop it, and I can't stop it. I only ask Taiwei Guo to let me go back to the court. I am not satisfied. Taiwei Guo said, I, Cai Jing, was born as a Song Dynasty person and died as a Song Dynasty ghost. My ambition is unshakable." Upon seeing this, Medicine Master Guo said, "Okay! I will send troops and horses to escort you out of the city."
Immediately, Pharmacist Guo sent dozens of soldiers and horses to escort Cai Jing out of the south gate of Yanjing.
After leaving the south gate of Yanjing, Cai Jing rode his horse quickly alone. Suddenly, dust flew up in the distance, and several horses came galloping towards them. A man at the head, riding on a horse, shouted loudly: "Here, stop!" Cai Jing quickly stopped his horse. The visitor rode up to Cai Jing and asked loudly: "Who are you?" Cai Jing replied: "I am Cai Jing, a colleague of Yanshan Prefecture!" The visitor was stunned and asked again: "You are Yanshan Prefecture?" Tongzhi, why are you walking alone? Where do you want to go?" Cai Jing said: "Yanshan Mansion has been dedicated to the Jinren by Medicine Master Guo. I rushed back to the capital to report to the Holy Spirit!" The visitor was shocked when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "Are you talking about Guo Pharmacist, who served as the military governor of the Wutai Army and the imperial inspection officer?" Cai Jing replied angrily: "That's the guy!"
The visitor rolled his saddle and dismounted, looked at Cai Jing and bowed to him: "I am Jia Shizhong! I am also a member of the Communist Party of China. Guo Yaoshi and I are also old friends. When he was besieged by Liao general Yelu Dashi in Yanjing, I rescued him. I never thought that it was me who rescued him. He's a scum! Cai Tongzhi, don't say anything anymore. You can follow me to the manor for a while, and then I will escort Mr. Cai back to the capital." Cai Jing heard the words and said: "Thank you very much, but the matter is extremely urgent and I'm afraid I don't have time. Then Medicine Master Guo If you defect to the Jin Kingdom, you will definitely lead the Jin people to invade the Central Plains. I have to rush back to report to the Holy One, so that the Holy One can organize troops to meet the Jurchens."
The person who came was none other than Jia Shizhong. Jia Shizhong lived in the southern suburbs of Yanjing. He suddenly saw a large number of troops and horses being transferred into the city. He was very confused and was about to inquire about the situation. As a result, he ran into Cai Jing, a fellow magistrate of Yanshan Prefecture who had escaped from Yanjing. After hearing what Cai Jing said, Jia Shizhong turned to Long Si and others who were following behind him and said: "Long Si, you go back to the manor quickly, take Xinruan with you, and escort the wife and several girls to Dayu Mountain. The other villagers are willing to leave. Those who are unwilling to leave will be taken away, and those who are unwilling to leave will be given travel expenses to order them to return to their hometowns. I will escort Mr. Cai back to the capital to enter the court. Remember, the manor was set on fire before leaving, so there must be no mistake!" Long Si replied : "Yes! Young Master." Immediately, Long Si took several other people and rode away.
Seeing Long Si and others leaving, Jia Shizhong hurriedly said to Cai Jing, "Master Cai, let's go quickly!" Cai Jing and Jia Shizhong immediately galloped southward with their horses.
Jia Shizhong and Cai Jing traveled day and night and arrived in Bianliang, the capital, two days later. Jia Shizhong immediately paid homage to Cai Jing and said, "Master Cai, the capital has arrived. Please come to the court immediately and tell your Majesty that I am going to visit an old friend." Cai Jingyu immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, righteous man, for escorting me!" You will be rewarded generously." Jia Shizhong clasped his hands and said, "Just say goodbye!" Then he rode away.
Cai Jing didn't care about anything else and rode his horse towards the palace.
In front of the palace, Cai Jing dismounted from his saddle and shouted urgently: "Cai Jing, the co-president of Yanshan Mansion, is going to see the Holy One and report quickly!" Upon seeing this, the palace people did not dare to delay and hurriedly entered the palace to report. After a while, an order was sent from the palace for Cai Jing, a fellow official of Yanshan Mansion, to come to the palace to see him.
Cai Jing hurried into the palace.
In the main hall, Cai Jing prostrated on the ground, shouted "Your Majesty!" and then burst into tears.
Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was shocked. He stood up, looked at Cai Jing and asked, "What's going on in Cai Qing's family? Don't cry and report to me quickly."
Cai Jing cried and said: "Your Majesty, Guo Yaoshi led the Wutai Army to defect to the Jin Kingdom. Yanshan Mansion has been occupied by the Jin Kingdom's soldiers and horses, and the Jin Kingdom's soldiers and horses will soon invade the mainland."
When Huizong Zhao Ji heard this, he was so frightened that he sat down on the dragon chair.
As expected, Pharmacist Guo defected to the Song Dynasty, which made Emperor Huizong crestfallen and felt particularly depressed. Prior to this, officials of Yanshan Mansion such as Zhan Du, Wang Anzhong, Cai Jing, etc. entered the secrets one after another, reporting that Medicine Master Guo had ulterior motives, had bad intentions, and feared something strange, but Emperor Huizong refused to believe it. As the woman closest to Emperor Huizong, Li Shishi also told Emperor Huizong about Pharmacist Guo, asking Emperor Huizong to pay attention to Pharmacist Guo's movements and remove Pharmacist Guo from his post or transfer him back to the capital as soon as possible. Huizong still did not believe it and thought it was a rumor. Who is Master Li? Li Shishi was Emperor Huizong's concubine and could not be contacted by others. Since Li Shishi advised Emperor Huizong to pay attention to Guo Yaoshi's movements, he must have obtained the information from special channels. It is a pity that Emperor Huizong still did not pay attention to it. In addition, some ministers in the DPRK also reported that Pharmacist Guo had problems and could not be reused. For example, Zheng Juzhong even suggested that Pharmacist Guo be dismissed from his post and recall Zhao Liangsi from Yongzhou, Hunan, to repair the relationship between the imperial court and the Jin Kingdom. As a result, he was Huizong Zhao Ji gave him a scolding and was demoted to Hunan to be with Zhao Liangsi.
Emperor Huizong, who did not listen to others' advice, finally felt the pain of being betrayed.
Now, after hearing Cai Jing's report, Emperor Huizong panicked and said repeatedly: "What should we do? What should we do?" Cai Jing looked at the panicked Emperor Huizong, bowed again, and entered The admonition said: "I am reporting to the Holy One. I request the Holy One to summon the high officials of the court to discuss countermeasures as soon as possible. If it is too late, it will be too late." Huizong Zhao Ji heard this and said hurriedly: "You are right! You are right!" Immediately, Emperor Huizong A group of ministers in Beijing, including Wang Fu, Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, and Cai You, were summoned to the court quickly to discuss countermeasures.
Upon hearing the call, all the ministers hurried into the palace.
Looking at the ministers, Huizong calmed down and briefly explained the situation of Yaoshi Guo's defection to the Kingdom of Jin. Wang Fu, Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, and Cai You, those treacherous ministers and traitors, were also greatly alarmed. Other ministers were inevitably surprised. Cai You remembered that he had assured Emperor Huizong not long ago that Pharmacist Guo could be relied upon. Now that something had happened, he was afraid that he would be blamed. It’s so clever that it deceived both the Holy Emperor and the ministers. Pharmacist Guo must be severely punished!”
When it comes to responsibility, Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji has the greatest responsibility. At this time, Emperor Huizong no longer cared about holding others accountable, but said anxiously: "Talk about now, talk about now, what should we do now?"
Several traitors and traitors looked at each other, but they didn't have any good ideas to come up with. Other ministers also looked at each other, waiting for the opinions of the few treacherous ministers and thieves who were most favored by Emperor Huizong.
Seeing that no one was playing, Huizong looked eagerly at the ministers in the hall.
Gao Qiu was a die-hard loyalist of Emperor Huizong. Seeing that Emperor Huizong was extremely anxious, he took a step forward, bowed to Huizong and said: "Your Majesty, the only plan now is to mobilize troops to meet the Jin Kingdom's troops."
Huizong said anxiously: "In your opinion, who can take on such a big responsibility?"
Gao Qiu replied: "Your Majesty, the person who takes on this important responsibility is none other than Privy Tong."
If the illness is urgent, seek medical treatment indiscriminately. Emperor Huizong, Zhao Ji, could not care about anything else and hurriedly passed the decree: "Tong Guan, the prince of Guangyang County and the Privy Councilor, will serve as the general marshal of Yujin. Wang Anzhong and Tan Zhen will serve as marshals of Yanjing and Lianghe respectively, and will be responsible for the defense of Yanyun area. Here you go! "At that time, except for Wang Anzhong who returned to Beijing to report his duties in the court, Tong Guan and Tan Zhen were still in Jinyang and Shuozhou.
In the main hall, Wang Anzhong took a step forward and replied loudly: "I will obey the imperial edict." Then, Wang Anzhong reported: "I am beginning to report to the Holy One. Previously, because the Wutai Army was guarding Yanjing, the Holy One had withdrawn the troops and horses from the area near Yanjing. , now there are no imperial soldiers and horses guarding south of Yanjing, the situation is very critical, I ask the Holy Spirit to immediately mobilize the northwest troops and horses to march eastward to defend Yanjing and Bianjing."
Huizong said: "It's very true! It's very true! Hurry up and follow the Northwest Zhongshi Dao, Yao Pingzhong and others to speed up the soldiers and horses of the towns in the northwest to go to the capital to serve the king."
"Your Majesty." Wang Anzhong said: "The top priority is Yanyun. Bianjing is not in danger yet. We can send soldiers and horses from the northwest towns to rush to the aid of Yanyun. As long as Yanyun is saved, Bianjing will naturally be saved."
Huizong said: "Yanyun still has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Privy Council Tong, who can fight the Jurchens decisively. The soldiers and horses from the northwest towns will drive directly to Bianjing as a backup."
When Emperor Huizong said this, the other ministers could not say anything else. Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Gao Qiu, Cai You and other treacherous ministers took the lead in shouting: "Your Majesty is wise, long live our emperor!" Other ministers also We had no choice but to shout long live, and no one dared to raise any objections.
After the ministers shouted long live the mountain, Emperor Huizong seemed to have come to his senses and calmed down a lot. He looked at Cai Jing and said, "Cai Tongzhi, you have to work harder." Cai Jing took a step forward and replied loudly. "The Holy One has an edict, and I will not give up even if I die." Huizong said, "You are loyal to the king and have served the country, so I will reward you. However, the situation is urgent now. Considering that you have a good relationship with Medicine Master Guo, I would like to ask you to go to Yanjing again." Cai Jing was surprised when he heard this. "I'm telling you, Your Majesty, that I and the Guo thieves are at odds with each other and have nothing to do with each other." Huizong said, "Don't be nervous, please. I didn't mean that. What I mean is," you return to Yanjing immediately, try to find Pharmacist Guo, and tell him Medicine Master Guo, I still have expectations for him. As long as he wakes up and returns to the imperial court, I will make him King of Yan, cede the land of Yanjing to him, and make him guard it for generations. Don't listen to the announcement. "
Emperor Huizong's decree shocked not only Cai Jing, the governor of Yanshan Prefecture, but also Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Gao Qiu, Cai You and other treacherous ministers and traitors. If you cede the Yanjing area to Guo Yaoshi and make him guard it for generations, and obey the instructions but not the propaganda, wouldn't it be an independent kingdom? In that case, what significance does Yanjing have to the imperial court?
