Translation of Biography of Song Shu Zong Ze

Zong Ze, whose real name is Lin Ru, is from Yiwu, Wuzhou. Mother Liu dreamed that thunder and lightning in the sky lit up her body and was born the next day. Zong Ze was bold and ambitious since he was a child. In the sixth year of Central Plains (109 1), he was a scholar. When interviewed in the imperial court, I tried to point out Chen's shortcomings. The examiner hated him for being too straight and ranked him last.

Zong Ze was transferred to Daming Guantao County Commandant. As the commander of Yan Shuai, Lv Huiqing sent people to Zong Ze and Yiling to inspect the Yellow River dike facilities. When the news arrived, it happened that Zong Ze's eldest son died, but Zong Ze was ordered to leave immediately. When Lv Huiqing learned about it, he said, "This can be called forgetting the country." At that time, the imperial court was digging the royal river on a large scale. In the middle of winter, the soldiers died in Tao, and the envoys were still in a hurry. Zong Ze thought that dredging the Royal River was a trivial matter, so he wrote to the commander: "The weather in the north is cold, so it is difficult for the people to succeed in vain. Slow down, you can succeed if you don't bother in early spring. " Finally, the handsome minister gave his opinion to the emperor and was adopted. Lv Huiqing called Zong Ze his subordinate, but Zong Ze refused.

Zong Ze was transferred to the county magistrate of Longyou in Quzhou. Longyou people didn't know how to study, so Zong Ze set up a school for them, hired Confucian teachers and talked about Confucian classics. As a result, customs have changed. Since then, Longyou people have been admitted.

Zong Ze was transferred to Zhao Cheng as Jinzhou county magistrate. After taking office, Zong Ze wrote a letter requesting Zhao Cheng to be promoted from county to army, and submitted a letter, but the court did not fully adopt his request. He said, "Cheng usually has nothing on his mind, but if there is an alarm in the future, you will know what I am talking about."

Zong Ze was appointed as the magistrate of Ye County, Laizhou City. When the imperial court sent a special envoy to buy bezoar, Zong Ze reported: "When an epidemic occurs, cow poisoning turns yellow. Now that there is harmony, how can cows turn yellow? " The messenger was angry and wanted to impeach the city officials. Zong Ze said, "This is what I mean by Zong Ze." And personally played the matter to the emperor.

Zong Ze Ren Dengzhou delivered this sentence. Hundreds of hectares of official land in Dengzhou are barren. Pay more than 10 thousand yuan in taxes every year, most of which come from the people. Zong Ze made a request to be deleted. The imperial court sent messengers from Dengzhou to unite with Jurchen and form an alliance at sea in an attempt to attack Qidan. Zong Ze said to his relatives and friends, "There will be a lot of trouble in the world." Zong Ze retired to Dongyang and built a small house in the valley.

In the first year of Jingkang (1 126), Zhong Cheng, Chen and others jointly recommended them as messengers of peace, and gained a new position. Zong Ze said, "This trip won't happen again." Someone asked him why, and Zong Ze said, "It's good that the enemy can repent and withdraw, otherwise how could he bow to the Jin people and humiliate your life?" Some people think that Zong Ze's honest and frank and unyielding will be harmful to the peace talks, so the emperor did not send him to the embassy, but appointed him as well-known in Cizhou.

At that time, Taiyuan fell and all officials of the two rivers were dismissed. Zong Ze said: "It is impossible to escape from difficulties while receiving the salary of the imperial court." On the same day, Zong Ze was ordered to ride alone, with only a dozen elderly and frail infantry around him. After Cizhou was ravaged by enemy soldiers, the people fled and the warehouse was empty. After Zong Ze arrived, he repaired the city wall, dredged the pond, reorganized the equipment, recruited volunteers, and began to make plans to stick to it. He said: "Xing, Luo, Magnetic, Yue and Xiang each have 20,000 elite soldiers. If the enemy attacks a county, the other four counties should help to keep the strength of a county at 100 thousand. " The emperor praised him and appointed Zong Ze as the general manager of Hebei militia. The Jin people broke through the reality and led troops to take Qingyuan from the south and cross the Yellow River. Worried that Zong Ze led the troops to follow from the rear, he sent thousands of cavalry to attack Cizhou directly. Zong Ze went into town in person, ordered a strong man to ride a horse, shot the enemy away with his bow, and then opened the door to pursue, killing hundreds of enemies. All the sheep, horses, gold and silk captured were given to the soldiers.

Kang Wang once again sent envoys to Jinying. After crossing Cizhou, Zong Ze greeted him and said, "Wang Su is gone forever, and now the enemy is sneaking around to call the king, hoping not to go." Kang Wang then turned back to Xiangzhou.

The imperial court issued a letter, with Zong Ze as the deputy marshal, and followed King Kang to raise troops to save the capital. Zong Ze thought that the soldiers should immediately cross Coulee and cut off the enemy's retreat. Others don't agree, so Zong Ze led the troops through Guli alone, and met the nomads from the road. Zong Ze sent Qin Guangbi and Zhang De to attack and defeated the nomads from the road. After the defeat of the Jin people, the soldiers were stationed in two ways. Zong Ze sent brave men to attack Jinying at night and breached more than 30 mounds.

At that time, King Kang set up the Grand Marshal's Office and ordered the soldiers to call the roll. Zong Ze crossed the Yellow River on ice and met Kang Wang, saying that the city had been besieged for a long time, so it was urgent to save it. Cao Fu, an official of the Privy Council who happened to sign the book, came from Beijing with wax to seal Qin Zong's hand, so it was possible to talk. Zong Ze said, "Jin people are very cunning, but they just want to cheat our army. Your father's hope of being saved outweighs hunger and thirst. He should let the soldiers go straight to the abyss and camp in turn to solve the siege of the capital. In case the enemy has another plot, our soldiers are already at the gate. " Wang Boyan and others tried to stop them, and advised Kang Wang to send Zong Ze first. Since then, Zong Ze can't participate in the proceedings in Marshal's Office.

In the first month of the second year of Jingkang, Zong Ze went to Kaide and won 13 battles with Jin Ren. He wrote a letter suggesting that Kang Wang should order all soldiers to go to Beijing. Zong Ze also sent letters to Zhao Ye, general of North Road, Fan Ne, special envoy of Fu Xuan of Hedong North Road, and Zeng Mao, yamen of Zhixing Renfu, asking them to join hands to save the capital. All three people thought Zong Ze was arrogant and ignored him. Zong Ze led the army forward alone, and Cui Chen said that the enemy was going all out and could not make a move. Zong Ze was very angry and wanted to cut off Cui Chen's head. The generals asked Cui Chen for forgiveness and let him work with death. Zong Ze ordered Cui Chen to invade and meet the enemy. Cui Chen defeated the enemy. When the Jin army attacked and opened Germany, it sent a hole to fight and defeated the enemy again. Zong Ze estimated that the Jin people would invade Puyang, so he sent three thousand cavalry to rescue them in advance. As a result, the Jin people really attacked Puyang and were defeated again. The Jin army attacked Germany for the second time, and Quan Bangyan and Kong joined forces to attack, and the Jin army was defeated again.

Zong Ze led the troops to Weinan. Considering the serenade, he would fight alone, and he could not succeed without going deep into the enemy camp. The vanguard officer reported that there was an enemy barracks ahead, and Zong Ze ordered his soldiers to go straight ahead, engage the enemy and defeat him. Zong Ze led the troops eastward, and the enemy kept sending reinforcements. Wang Xiaozhong died in battle, and there were enemy camps before and after. Zong Ze ordered: "Now we will die if we advance and retreat. We must survive from death." Soldiers know that they will die, and they will kill thousands of enemies without exception. The Jin people were defeated and retreated for dozens of miles. Zong Ze estimated that there were ten times more enemies than himself. If he retreats after World War I today, he will definitely come again. It would be dangerous if all the nomads from the army were out to attack our army at night. So he mobilized troops in the dark. Jin people arrived that night, leaving only an empty camp. They are very scared. From then on, they were afraid of Zong Ze and dared not send troops to fight again. Zong Ze unexpectedly sent troops across the Dagou River to attack and defeated the Jin people. According to the old system, Kang Wang was appointed as the ambassador of Huige.

At that time, the Jin people threatened to return and the Qin emperor went north. When Zong Ze learned of this, he immediately led the troops to Sliding State, passing through Liyang and reaching Daming. He wanted to cross the Yellow River directly, control the retreat of the Jin people, and intercept them back to the Emperor Qin. However, none of Qin Wang's soldiers arrived. Zong Ze also heard that Zhang Bangchang had usurped the throne, and wanted to lead a crusade. It coincided with the letter from Marshal's Office, asking him to lead his troops to approach the capital, stay put and observe the changes of the situation. Zong Ze wrote back to Kang Wang and said, "How can a minister sit in the hall wearing a robe and a red hijab?" Since ancient times, treacherous court officials have always been submissive in appearance and sinister in heart. Unlike Zhang Bangchang, they didn't steal the throne, change the times, grant amnesty and commit crimes. Now Qin Hui and the kings have crossed the Yellow River to the north, and only the king is still helping, which shows the significance of heaven. We should immediately crusade against heaven and revive the country. He also said, "Zhang Bangchang's false forgiveness has touched the hearts of some adulterers. I hope to send messengers to tell them separately to stabilize the people's hearts. "

Zong Ze also wrote a letter saying, "The hope of the world now rests on the king. If the king acts properly, it can comfort the experience of the whole world. The so-called Tao means integrity, staying away from weakness and evil, accepting exhortation, rejecting flattery, advocating modesty and thrift, restraining arrogance and extravagance, paying attention to hard work, forgetting ease and enjoyment, advocating pragmatism and restraining selfishness and hypocrisy. " Later, Zhao Gou wrote many times to persuade Kang Wang to be aggressive.

Kang Wang was emperor in Nanking, and Zong Ze went to the DPRK to meet each other, exchange tears and put forward a plan for rejuvenating the country. At that time, he and Li Gang entered the DPRK to answer questions. They met to talk about state affairs and shed tears generously. Li Gang thinks that Zong Ze is a strange man. The emperor wanted to keep Zong Ze, Huang Qian Shan and others in the way. Zong Ze was appointed as a bachelor of Longtuge, knowing Xiangyang House.

At that time, the Jin people demanded to cede land and wrote: "The world belongs to Taizong, and Taizong belongs to it. Your majesty should be conscientious and try to pass it on to future generations. Why did you agree to cede Hedong Hexi in a hurry, and also promised to cut off Puxian and Xie Xian in Shaanxi? Since the Jin people invaded again, the court did not appoint a general or send a soldier, but only heard traitors. They advocated peace early and demanded an alliance late, which eventually led to the emperor's northern expedition and the humiliation of the Zongshe. I thought your majesty would be outraged and clearly reward and punish the reconstruction of the royal family. Now that your majesty has been in the throne for forty days, he has not heard a big order, except that the commander of the Ministry of Justice said,' No amnesty shall be granted to Hexie County, Puxian County, Hedong County and Shaanxi Province.' This is to suppress the loyalty of the world and die for the people. Although I am stupid and timid, I am willing to take the risk. If I can die for my country in front of all the generals, I will be satisfied. "The emperor felt very solemn and stirring after watching Zong Ze play hydrophobic. Zong Ze was renamed Qingzhou at the age of sixty-nine.

The post of Chief Executive of Kaifeng Prefecture is vacant. Li Gang said that it is necessary for Zongze to stabilize and restore the old capital. Soon, Zong Ze was appointed as Fu Zhifeng. At this time, the enemy is still on the edge of the Yellow River, and drums can be heard day and night. However, all the warships in Beijing are scrapped, soldiers and civilians live together, thieves are rampant, and people are in panic. Zong Ze has always enjoyed a high reputation. After arriving in Kaifeng, he killed several thieves first. Zong Ze ordered that "thieves, regardless of the amount of stolen goods, should be punished according to military law." Since then, the thieves have calmed down and the people are at peace.

Hedong thief Wang Shan, with 700,000 soldiers and 10,000 chariots, wanted to occupy the capital. Riding alone to Wang Shan's barracks, he tearfully said to Wang Shan, "When the imperial court is in danger, if there are one or two people like Gong, how can foreign enemies invade?" . Now is the time for you to make meritorious service, and you can't miss the opportunity. Wang Shan was moved to tears and said, "How dare you not work for the imperial court?" ? "So I surrendered. At that time, Jin Yang claimed to be a horned ox, with 300,000 mercenaries, while Wang Zaixing, Li Gui and Wang Dalang each had tens of thousands of mercenaries, wandering between Jingxi, Huainan and Henan and Hebei, harassing and looting, which caused great disaster. Zong Ze sent someone to tell them about their blessings and illness, and handed over all of them. Zong Ze asked the emperor to return to Beijing. Soon, the emperor issued a letter: Jing, Xiang, Jiang and Huai were all ready, waiting for the emperor to make a patrol. Zong Ze wrote: "The price market in Kaifeng is gradually returning to normal. Soldiers, family members, business travelers and loyal ministers all hope that your majesty will return to Beijing immediately to comfort the people. Those who put forward different opinions are not out of loyalty to your majesty, but, like others, secretly collude with Jin people. "Zong Ze was appointed as a bachelor of Yankangtang, a stay in Beijing, a Kaifeng Yin.

In the name of sending envoys to Manchukuo, Jin sent people to Kaifeng. Zong Ze said, "This is nominally a special envoy, but in fact it is to explore our reality." So the emissary was detained, and Shangshu asked for execution. The court ordered Zong Ze to transfer the detained envoys of the State of Jin to other buildings for resettlement. Zong Ze said: "This country has been at peace for 200 years. It doesn't know there is a war. It regards the deception of the enemy as unquestionable honesty. Not only did they fail to make a careful attack and crusade plan, but they also didn't think it was crazy for those who didn't forget the gratitude of their enemies and hoped to serve their country faithfully, so they thought it was stupid and led to the disaster before Jingkang. Your Majesty witnessed the actions of Zhang Bangchang, Geng Nanzhong and others. Now the Jin people are trying to find out the truth of us under the guise of traitors, and the foolish minister requests that they be beheaded to break the plot of the Jin people. However, your majesty was confused by what people said and ordered to be placed in another building and treated well. Foolish officials dare not serve a letter to show the weakness of the country. " The emperor personally sent a letter to inform Zong Ze, and finally released the Kim. Everyone in the imperial court agreed with Huang Qianshan that it was inappropriate for Zong Ze to detain the Golden Lion. "Shang Shu Zuo Shu Jing Heng wrote a letter to argue, and said:" It is Kaifeng Yin, who has a great reputation and outstanding achievements. No one can compare with him now. Seek a heavy responsibility so that it can successfully defend the enemy and govern the people. "

There are a large number of enemy soldiers between Calm, Huai and Wei, and they are stepping up the construction of combat equipment and making attack plans. However, the imperial generals were careless and unprepared, and Zong Ze was worried. So he crossed the Yellow River and discussed the offensive and defensive matters with the generals in order to recover lost ground. Around the capital, a national defense ambassador was set up to lead the newly called soldiers. In addition, twenty-four strong defensive walls were built outside the city according to the terrain, and Lianzhu Village was established in turn along the river line, connecting the mountains and rivers of Hedong and Hebei, so that people from all walks of life in Shaanxi, JD.COM and Jingxi were willing to obey Zong Ze's command. Emperor Gaozong sent people to visit Huai Lake. Zong Ze wrote an admonition, but the court ignored it.

Bing Ichiro Yue Fei will be punished for breaking the law. Zong Ze looked at Yue Fei in surprise and said, "This is a general." Just when Jin attacked Surabaya, he handed over 500 cavalry to Yue Fei to make amends. Yue Fei was defeated by the Jin people, so he was promoted to be emperor, and Yue Fei became famous.

When Zong Ze came back from an inspection of Hebei's military affairs, Shang Shu said, "Your Majesty is still in Du Nan, and the people are worried. Everyone thinks that your majesty abandoned the clan, leaving the country helpless and the people without respect. Your Majesty should immediately return to Bianjing to comfort the people. " The court did not reply. Zong Ze also wrote a letter of protest, saying, "The state has formed an alliance with the Jin people, hoping for peace among the people. But in the end, the Jin people invaded and plundered and did everything they could, so the results of persistence and discussion were not enough to make the people peaceful. At that time, some people catered to the pursuit of wealth, while others were sentenced not to contact each other. In your majesty's opinion, it was the one who sought money in those days, right? Or the one convicted of disobedience, right? Now those who advocate the transfer of the tour are just like those who used to think that the peace talks were feasible; Now people who advocate that they can't emigrate are just like those who used to think that peace talks were not feasible. I hope your majesty will think it over and make a choice. Besides, capital is a legacy accumulated in 200 years. Why did your majesty easily hand it over to the enemy? "

Emperor Gaozong sent officials to meet the Sixth Palace in Jinling. Zong Ze wrote: "The capital is the heart of the world. Although there is no peace in the two rivers, just one arm is not enough to rely on. Now I want to give up in a hurry, not only hurting one arm, but also abandoning my abdomen. During the Jingdezhen period, the Khitan invaded Ehime. If Qin Wang was from Jiangnan, he advised the emperor to visit Jinling. If Chen Yao Cuo was from Shu, he suggested that the emperor visit Chengdu. Only Kou Zhun insisted on the emperor's personal expedition, and finally adopted Kou Zhun's suggestion. I dare not compare with Kou Zhun, and I dare not compare your majesty with the emperor. " Zong Ze also put forward five things, one of which is that Huang Qian Shan and Wang Boyan advocated improper southern tour. Zong Ze's suggestion, after three provinces and the Privy Council, was often suppressed by Huang Qian Shan, Wang Boyan and others. Every time they see Zong Ze's performance, they are laughed at as crazy.

Jin will cross the Yellow River and plan to attack Bianjing. The generals should cut off the river bridge first, as Yan Bing insisted. Zong Ze scoffed and said, "Last winter, the enemy rushed at us because the river bridge was cut off." So he ordered Ada to go to Sliding State and Liu Da to Zhengzhou to disperse the enemy's forces, and warned the generals to protect the river bridge and wait for the soldiers to gather. The Jin people learned that they broke the river bridge overnight and fled.

In the second year of Jian Yan (1 128), Jin people arrived in Baisha from Zhengzhou, near Bianjing, and the people in Beijing were terrified. The family came in for advice. Zong Ze is sitting around talking with the guests. He smiled and replied, "What's there to panic about? Ada and others will certainly be able to resist the enemy. " So we selected thousands of elite soldiers to bypass the enemy's defense lines and ambush them on their retreat. When Jin people fought, the ambush was prominent and they were attacked on both sides. The Golden Man was really defeated.

Kim will occupy Xijing and confront it. Send Li, Yan Zhongli and Li to Zhengzhou to meet the enemy. When the two armies fought, Yan Zhongli died, surrendered and fled. Take Li back and say to him, "If you are invincible, your sins can be forgiven;": To flee privately is to ignore the Lord. " Beheaded him as a warning to the soldiers. Soon, Guo Junmin, Jin Jiang surnamed Shi and He Zhongzu, a Yanren, came to surrender with books. Zong Ze rebuked Guo Junmin and said, "You died of defeat, and you are still a loyal ghost. Now you use books to lure the gold people to surrender. What do you want to see me about? " Cut off his head. He said to Shi Jiangjin, "I have been ordered to guard this place and would rather die than let go. You are a general. You can't beat me with death, but you want to surrender me with your child's love? " And behead him. He Zhongzu is regarded as a follower and is exempt from the death penalty.

Ada returned to Bianjing, and the Jin people invaded Sliding State again. The Ministry will send Zhang Yi to save him. Zong Ze chose 5,000 soldiers to hand over to him and warned him not to fight easily to wait for support. In order to engage the enemy in the sliding state, the enemy's military forces are ten times that of Zhang Youwei, and the generals asked to avoid the enemy's side a little. Zhang Youwei said, "Avoid it, and you won't see the Lord." So he fought and died. When he heard that Zhang Yi was in danger, he sent five thousand troops to rescue him. Two days after Zhang Yiwei's death, Wang Xuan arrived, fought against the Jin people and defeated them. He said that Zhang Yi was buried, made him his family, and sent Wang Xuanzhi to Yuzhou. Since then, the Jin people have never invaded Tokyo again.

Thieves appeared in Shandong, and the ruling and opposition parties believed that most of them were in the name of the rebel army, demanding an order to stop the diligent king. Shangshu Zong Ze said, "The enemy besieged the capital, and loyal people rose up to attack it. Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Fujian, Jiangsu and Huaihe River crossed thousands of miles and sent troops to serve the king. At that time, the ministers had no foresight, failed to appease them, used them to make them hungry and cold, and the weak made up for it, while the strong were thieves. This is not the fault of Qin Wang, but the minister's improper handling at that time. Now countless people in Hedong Hexi are not attached to Baoshan. There are virtuous and honest scholars everywhere, and I don't know how many people volunteered to help. This imperial edict reminds me that I am worried that once the people of Cao Ze are disintegrated, there will be a crisis. Who wants to be loyal and effective? "

It belonged to the Khitan chieftain and was appointed as a general by Jin, who traveled between the Yellow River. Zong Ze grabbed him, loosened the rope and let him sit in the classroom. He said to him, "Qidan was originally a brother country of Song, and now Jurchen insulted our emperor and destroyed your country. From the perspective of friendship, we should take revenge with Qi Xin. " Wang Ce was moved to tears and wanted to work for Zong Ze. Zong Ze took advantage of the situation, inquired about the enemy's situation, and got a detailed understanding of the enemy's situation, so he decided to make a massive crusade. He summoned all the generals and said to them, "You are loyal, so you should work together to destroy the enemy and hope to welcome Hui Di and Emperor Qin back and make great contributions." After saying "tears", all the generals also shed tears, indicating obedience. Due to the war with Zong Ze, the Jin people were at a disadvantage and all the soldiers were evacuated.

Zong Ze Shangshu advised the emperor not to travel to the south of the Yangtze River. He said: "It has been three months since last autumn and winter to this spring. If your majesty does not return to Beijing early, the people of the world will have nothing to admire. " Zong Ze was appointed Senior Minister Hall Bachelor.

Zong Ze also sent his son Zong Ying to the imperial court, saying, "If you play it by ear, you can't do anything. Now that Iraq and Luoyang have been recovered, Jin will cross the Yellow River to the north and guard the sliding platform. The enemy has been defeated in many wars, and the shanzhai rebels from Hedong and Hebei have come side by side, looking forward to the arrival of officers and men every day. As far as the timing is concerned, the omen of ZTE can be seen, and the Jin people will surely perish. To do this, your majesty seized the opportunity. " He also said, "In the past, Chu people built their capital in Ying, and historians gave a derogatory evaluation. Now I heard that the emperor had a water war aimed at training truth, and the scale was to dominate a corner of the south of the Yangtze River. Isn't this worthy of contempt? When the news spread in all directions, they would think that the Central Plains could not hold on, so they planned to defend Jiangning. "

Prior to this, Zong Ze went to Cizhou, handed over state affairs to the army to manage Li Kan, and was killed by the control officer Zhao Shilong. By this time, Zhao Shilong and his younger brother Zhao Shixing had led thirty thousand troops to join them, and everyone was worried that something would happen to them. Zong Ze said: "Shilong was originally my military school, and nothing will happen." When Shilong arrived, Zong Ze reprimanded and said, "Hebei fell, and the law and the distinction between the upper and lower parts of my Song Dynasty also fell?" Zhao Shilong was ordered to be beheaded. At that time, Zhao Shixing stood by with his sword, and all his soldiers showed their weapons under the court. Zong Ze said slowly to Shixing, "Your brother was killed, and you can make great contributions, which is enough to avenge." Zhao Shixing was moved to tears. When the Jin people attacked Huazhou, they were sent to save them. Shixing arrived, took the enemy by surprise and defeated the Jin people.

Zong Ze's popularity is growing day by day. When Jin people hear his name, they are often respectful and afraid. When they talk with Song people, they must call him Grandpa Zong.

"Shangshu" said, "There are hundreds of thousands of people in Jinding who are willing to protect the capital, and Li Cheng is willing to follow the emperor back to the DPRK and then cross the river to attack the enemy. Jin Yang and others are willing to cross the Yellow River and fight the enemy. " . I heard that' more help will make the world peaceful'. Your majesty will return to Beijing now, and everyone will unite as one. What is the enemy country to worry about? He also said: "saints love their parents and push others' parents, so they teach people filial piety;" "Respect your brother and push others' brothers, so teach others to be considerate. Your Majesty should conspire with loyal ministers and righteous men to crusade against the sage of Qin. The Longde Palace, where the emperor's father lives now, is still the same as before. Only Emperor Sheng Yuan has no palace, and he hopes to restore the treasure ... This palace will be used as the residence to welcome Emperor Sheng Yuan, so that everyone in the world can know that he is filial to his father and virtuous to his brothers. This is based on teaching. " The emperor then wrote a letter and prepared to return to Beijing another day.

Zong Ze ascended the throne for more than 20 times and asked the emperor to return to Beijing. However, he was often obstructed by Huang Qian Shan and others, so he fell ill and got a poisonous sore on his back. Zong Ze looked at the generals and said, "I am so angry because of the misfortune of Huidi and Qin Shihuang. If I can destroy the enemy, I will die without complaint. " The generals said with tears, "How dare it not work!" After the generals went out, Zong Ze sighed. "But before he conquered, he was dead, and the heroes cried on their coats." "The next day, it was windy and rainy, and it was dark. Zong Ze didn't say a word about housework, even called "crossing the river" three times and died. People in the capital cried when they heard about it. Zong Ze's suicide note still claims that the emperor should return to Beijing. The court gave Zong Ze a bachelor's degree in Guan Wendian and Dr. Yi Tong, and made him a loyal minister.

Zong Ze's personality is straightforward and loyal. Many poor people among relatives and friends live on him, but he is very frugal with himself. He often said, "Although your father's salary is small, how can a courtier eat and live well?" At first, the bandits were summoned, soldiers were assembled to station grain, volunteers from all walks of life were United, and the heroes of Yanzhao were contacted, thinking that crossing the Yellow River and recovering lost land were just around the corner. Everyone who knows him feels sorry for him because his ambition has not been realized.

Zong Ze's son Zong Ying has always been supported by soldiers in the army. A few days after Zong Ze's death, five-tenths of the soldiers left, and people in Beijing demanded that Zong Ying inherit his throne. As the court has appointed Du Chong as the left-behind in Tokyo, Zong Ying is the judge. Du Chong runs counter to Zong Ze and is very unpopular. Zong Ying repeatedly pleaded, but Du Chong refused to listen and asked to go home to offer condolences. Since then, the hero has not been appointed, and those who gather at the gates of Tokyo have become thieves. The Central Plains can no longer be conservative. Zong Yingzhong's highest official position is the official department doctor.
