Goldfinger of the Heavens

Chapter 162 Crouching Tiger Village, Jingkang Shame

Linchuan.

"My lord, the Jin soldiers have withdrawn, and King Kang has returned to the country." Wang Hu hurried into the lobby and shouted, "It was the rebel Zhang Bangchang who took the initiative to give way."

"Oh." Compared to Wang Hu's excitement, Huang Chong looked very calm, because Huang Chong knew it a long time ago.

In February, the Jin soldiers captured Bianjing and captured the two emperors. After they plundered Bianjing, they divided their troops into two groups and retreated.

Because Zhang Bangchang established Dachu with the support of Jin Guo, many descendants directly equated him with Wang Jingwei. In fact, this really wronged him.

The Kingdom of Jin captured Bianjing, not wanting to occupy it, but wanting to support a Han emperor. Looking around in the Song court, he found that only Zhang Bangchang met the requirements, but Zhang Bangchang was killed and refused to be a dragon chair. Later, the Kingdom of Jin took Bianjing The lives of millions of people were threatened, so Zhang Bangchang sat on the dragon chair.

After ascending the throne, Zhang Bangchang set his office in Wende Hall (the emperor's office is Zichen Hall and Chuigong Hall), and placed his office desks and chairs facing west (the emperor's seat is placed south); he resolutely stopped court officials from bowing to him Dali, he called himself "Yu" instead of "Zhen" when meeting and chatting with court officials, and used "handwritten" instead of "imperial decree" when communicating with officials.

Always get along with the officials of the imperial court as colleagues and level relations.

After the Jin soldiers withdrew to the north, Zhang Bangchang immediately chose to abdicate and handed over the throne to King Kang Zhaogou. In fact, Zhang Bangchang knew very well that if he did this, he would definitely not end well. His cronies also dissuaded him, but Zhang Bangchang still chose to abdicate.

Although in the process, Zhang Bangchang did some seemingly hypocritical things, but there is no need for a person to give up his wealth and life to act hypocritically. Those hypocrisy are at most for self-protection, but unfortunately these behaviors cannot guarantee his safety. , Zhang Bangchang was gifted to death by Zhao Gou.

"Zhang thief took the initiative to give up the throne, and the golden thief might not let it go." Wang Hu became a little worried again. Jin Bing was now an invincible god and demon in Song people's mind.

"It's inevitable not to give up. Those wimps of the Zhao family dare to fight?" Huang Chong sneered. Huang Chong remembered that Zhao Gou withered because of the pursuit of the golden soldiers. After arriving in the south, he had no children. , All the children in Bianjing died.

This is also something worth mentioning. It is quite fantasy. Back then, Zhao Guangyi "robbed" the throne of his brother Zhao Kuangyin. direct descendants.

But when he came to Zhao Gou, because his own son died early, he could only pass on the throne to his adopted son. Zhao Gou's adopted son Zhao Wei (Song Xiaozong) was the seventh grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, that is to say, the throne finally returned to Zhao Kuangyin. one.

Because when Zhao Gou was doing that, he heard the news of Jin Wushu's death, and he was too panicked to wilt. Therefore, there are folk legends that Jin Wushu was the reincarnation of Zhao Kuangyin, and his purpose was to recover the throne for his descendants. .

"My lord, Mr. Li has been appointed." Wang Hu reminded that the "Mr. Li" in his mouth was Li Gang. As soon as Zhao Gou ascended the throne, he immediately appointed Li Gang as his prime minister. It seems that if the emperor had not demoted Li Gang to Jiangxi and listened to the slander of treacherous ministers, Bianjing would not have fallen.

"So what if it's enabled? Zhao Gou, a wimp, what can he do? Hmph! History just keeps repeating itself. If Li Gang can sit still for half a year, I'll write my name upside down." Huang Chong said disdainfully, Huang Chong was also an emperor, and he disdained Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, and Zhao Gou in all kinds of ways. These three people were really useless, not like an emperor.

"This, can't it?" Wang Hu couldn't believe it, but he couldn't refute Huang Chong's words, because what Huang Chong said before really happened, no matter how absurd it seemed at the time.

"Then let us wait and see. These things have nothing to do with us. How are those injured brothers settled?"

"It has been settled according to the request of the young master."

"Well, I'm going to retreat for a while, and I'll leave everything in the village to you."

"Yes!"

As early as three years ago, Huang Chong had established a manor on the shore of Poyang Lake and became a landlord. The manor was completed this year. In order to commemorate his two wives in the detective plane, Huang Chong named the manor—Crouching Tiger Manor.

For the next half a year, Huang Chong spent most of his time in the secret room, consolidating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu and practicing Nine Yin Internal Kung Fu.

Of course, this does not mean that Huang Chong is ignorant of the outside world. The huge dark web will aggregate the information to Crouching Tiger Village, and then special personnel will sort it out and report to Huang Chong regularly. Chong also knows the affairs of the world.

The situation in the court was similar to what Huang Chong had expected. Li Gang had been in power for 75 days, and in less than three months, he was demoted by Zhao Gou, and he was demoted to Hainan. Hainan is not a tourist attraction at this time, but It's a place where birds don't lay eggs.

In addition, the wave of anti-golden voices among the people was higher and higher, mainly due to various news from the Kingdom of Jin.

Jingkang shame, why is it called "shame"?

It's not just because the two emperors were captured, it's mainly because of Jin Guo's treatment of these captives, which is really infuriating.

When the Jin people left Bianjing, in addition to the two emperors, they also captured more than 3000 people from the royal family, concubines and princesses, princes and ministers. After women were captured to the north, most of them were slaves and prostitutes.

21 princesses were captured, and three were tortured to death in the prisoner-of-war camp; ten were forcibly taken by the generals of the Kingdom of Jin, and several of them were later sent to the Huanyiyuan; three were sent directly to the Huanyiyuan, and five Because they didn't grow up, when they grew up, they were sent to the Huanyiyuan together.

Huanyiyuan, also known as "laundry yard", Zhao Gou's mother Wei Guifei was placed in Huanyiyuan, because Zhao Gou ascended the throne as emperor, and her fate was very miserable. According to folk rumors, Wei Guifei once lived in the laundry yard. It set a record of receiving [-] people in one day.

Empress Zhu Lian committed suicide because she couldn't bear the humiliation of the "goat-leading ceremony", but most of the princes, nobles, concubines and princesses did not have the guts to commit suicide, so they could only accept the sheep-leading ceremony, which made the dignity of the Song Dynasty completely lost.

The sheep-leading ceremony is a surrender ceremony in the Kingdom of Jin. It requires the captives to be naked, wear sheepskin, and tie a rope around their necks. They are led like sheep, which means that they are slaughtered like sheep. What a shame.

These news spread to the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention the hot-tempered martial arts people, even ordinary people can't bear it. In this era when the king humiliates and dies, this kind of shame is unacceptable.

This is why the "Jingkang Difficulty" is also known as the "Jingkang Disgrace", and the changes brought about by this shame have a great impact on future generations.

Later, the "chaste memorial archway" that we are familiar with began to appear at this time. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Taoists still tended to emphasize survival and despise chastity. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, women can only choose the latter between survival and chastity.

Zhao Gou is naturally aware of these situations, but he chooses to turn a blind eye and suppress these voices. Maybe he thinks that the Jin soldiers will not go south, especially after Yan Zonghan died of illness, he began to order the construction of the palace. It seems to be immersed in enjoyment.

In a "peaceful" atmosphere, several innate masters of the Kingdom of Jin crossed the border southward from different places and entered the Song Dynasty. Among them, the mad elder of the shamanism led three wolf warriors to walk day and night, heading towards Linchuan.
