The Life of the Characters in Zhao Ding's Works

Zhao Ding's father died when he was four years old. Educated by his mother Fan Shi, he learned a lot of classics and historical knowledge. Song Huizong worshiped Ning for five years (1 106), a scholar, and rebuked Zhang Dun for his mistake. Wu Min, the prime minister of Luoyang, knew his talent and promoted him to Cao Shi.

When nomadic people captured Taiyuan, the imperial court negotiated to cede the land of the three towns. Zhao Ding said, "You can't give people the land of your ancestors. How do you negotiate? " Soon after, Jingkang changed, Kaifeng fell, Huizong and Qinzong were robbed and forced to go north. Jin people negotiated to be emperor, but Hu Yin and Zhang Jun fled to imperial academy without writing argumentative papers.

After Song Gaozong proclaimed himself emperor, he appointed Zhao Ding as the agent of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On the recommendation of Zhang Jun of the Privy Council, he was appointed Si Xunlang. Zhao Ding said: "Since Wang Anshi came to power in Xining and changed the laws of his ancestors, the people began to be poor. In the name of opening to the outside world, causing border incidents; Raise the politics of financial management and make people poor; Establish nihilistic learning and corrupt talents. In the early years of Chongning, Cai Jing promoted Wang Anshi's administration in the name of Shao Shu. All the troubles now began with Wang Anshi and formed in Cai Jing. Today, Wang Anshi still deserves to enjoy the palace, and Cai Jing's cronies have not been removed. The lack of current politics is greater than this. " Therefore, Emperor Gaozong went to Wang Anshi to enjoy it, promoted him as the right minister of the admonition minister, and was promoted to an imperial envoy in the temple.

Liu Guangshi's Ministry killed Han Shizhong's Ministry without authorization, and Han Shizhong led the troops to seize the official residence of Jiankang House. Zhao Ding said, "Wang De is leading the troops outside and is not afraid of indiscriminate killing. This is not managed, who will not do it? " The emperor ordered Zhao Ding to catch Wang De, and Zhao Ding asked for a letter to reprimand Han Shizhong and asked him to hand over his officials to the government for punishment. All generals are in awe. Emperor Gaozong said: "When Tang Suzong got a Li Mian in Lingwu, the imperial court was respected. Now that I have you, I am worthy of the ancients. " Zong Yin thought that the old system did not promote Zhong from a minister to a temple. Gao Zong said: "Zhao Ding is a very competent remonstrator, and 36 of the 40 political affairs he talked about have been implemented." He was promoted to suggestion.

Nomads from the Yangtze River, the emperor to Huiji, called Taiwan remonstrance officials to discuss the future, Zhao Ding stated the three strategies of war, defense and avoidance, and was appointed as an imperial adviser. Request to urge Wang Xie to March into Xuanzhou, divide his troops out of Guangde, and cross the river to station troops in Qi and Huang to attack the enemy. He also said: "Governance should start from the governance of Guanzhong, and governance of Guanzhong should start from the governance of Bashu, and the arrival of Bashu should start from Jingxiang. Wu, who is offside, is not the base for the Central Plains to forge ahead. Jing and Xiang left Furukawa and Shaanxi, controlled Hunan, and controlled Beijing and Luoyang, making them a battleground for the military strategists of the three countries. It is necessary to take the public security as the palace, station heavy troops in Xiangyang, and transport grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang for the great cause of Sichuan and Shaanxi soldiers. There is nothing better than this. "

After Han Shizhong defeated the nomads in the battle of Huang Tiandang, Prime Minister Lv Yihao invited Gaozong to visit western Zhejiang. Zhao Ding thinks he can't act rashly. Lv Yihao hated him for being out of place with himself. Zhao Ding refused to accept Zhao Ding's appointment as an academician, and Zhao Ding also refused to accept it. He said, "Your Majesty is sincere in listening, but Prime Minister Chen refuses to remonstrate; Your majesty has the intention of treating Taiwan officials as soon as possible, but the prime minister has lost the power of officials. " I can't live in seclusion. Lv Yihao has numerous shortcomings. The emperor dismissed Lv Yihao and ordered the restoration of Zhao Ding's post of suggestion. He said to Zhao Ding, "Whenever I hear about a minister who is loyal to the imperial court, I often wish I didn't know him. Now I see it in you. " Appoint a bachelor of Duan Mingtang, and the Privy Council will sign the book.

Nomads from attacking Chuzhou, Zhao Ding suggested sending Zhang Jun to rescue. Zhang Jun did not move, and Yin Shan fell. Nomads from the Huaihe River to stay. Fan Zongyin thought that the enemy might not be able to cross the river again. Zhao Ding said, "Don't hope that the enemy won't come, but prepare on your own. Officials in the three provinces often retire and introduce talents for your majesty and renovate political affairs. The Privy Council often considers that the invasion of the enemy is to declare military discipline and to repair weapons for your majesty, so as to give consideration to both. " Emperor Gaozong said, "If you can do this, what else can I worry about?" Due to the fall of Chuzhou, Zhao Ding asked to leave. At the right moment, Xin Qiji was awarded our time. Zhao Ding thought that Qizong had no military service, so he disobeyed the emperor's will and went out to host the Yasukuni Shrine. Thanks to Pingjiang Prefecture, Kangfu was rebuilt soon and moved to Zhihong Prefecture.

Zhao Ding said, "Hengli is a mob. If you can't stop the enemy, you will lose Xiangyang. " Soon, Hengli fled because of unfavorable operations, and Xiangyang finally fell. The emperor called Zhao Ding into Beijing as a political adviser. Prime Minister Zhu Shengfei said, "Xiangyang is the upper reaches of the capital, so we must take it quickly." Gao Zong asked, "Can Yue Fei be appointed?" Zhao Ding said: "No one knows the interests of the upstream better than Yue Fei." Chui fook, who signed the Privy Council, disagreed. Yue Fei made his fortune and finally recovered Xiangyang.

So Han Shizhong was ordered to keep Surabaya, and Chen and Cai were the first ones. Liu Guangshi asked to play, chui fook intends to agree, and Zhao Ding thought it was impossible. The pseudo-Qi Suqian county magistrate rebelled, and Xu Fu wanted to kill it and give it to him. Zhao Ding argued with him again. Chui fook was furious and asked to leave. Zhu Shengfei also knows the Privy Council. Some people think that when a country is a country, it doesn't know soldiers. They ask political participants to know that the Privy Council is together. Zhao Ding was jealous of Zhu Shengfei from now on. The emperor appointed Zhao as the Privy Council and Minister of Sichuan and Shaanxi, but declined politely because of incompetence. Gao Zong said: "Sichuan is prosperous, half of the world is in your hands, and you can do whatever you want." At that time, Wu Jun was appointed as Fu Xuan's deputy envoy. Zhao Ding said, "Can I control him with my colleagues?" The emperor was appointed commander-in-chief of Sichuan and Shaanxi in Zhao Ding.

Zhao Ding is somewhat lax, while Zhu Sheng is very restrained. Zhao Ding Shangshu said: "When Zhang Jun went to Sichuan and Shaanxi, the national situation was a hundred times stronger than it is now. Zhang jun has the power to mend the sky, and your majesty has the potential to draw rivers as mountains. There is no difference between ancient times and modern times, but it eventually leads to criticism and even exile. Now I don't have the credit like Zhang Jun. Can I avoid talking about his task? " He also said: "I ask to lead less than a few thousand soldiers, half of whom are old, weak and sick, and they have little gold and silk." The letter of appointment of the recommended person has not been issued, but the impeachment has been completed. I serve in the palace every day, which is beyond words, let alone thousands of miles away? " At that time, it was a pity that all the scholar-officials had left, and some people stayed. When Zhao Ding came to the palace to say goodbye, he often stated his plan of fighting. The emperor said, "How can you walk away? You must be my friend. " In September, he became the right servant of Shangshu, and he also knew about the Privy Council. As soon as the imperial edict came out, courtiers congratulated each other.

At that time, Liu Lin, the son of the puppet emperor, and Jin people joined forces to attack on a large scale, which aroused the fear of North Korea. Zhao Ding put forward a plan to fight against the imperial army, and all the generals held their own opinions. Only Zhang Jun thought that this issue should be discussed, and Zhao Ding agreed with him. Someone advised the emperor to go abroad, and Zhao Ding said, "It's not too late to leave now." Emperor Gaozong also said: "I will definitely lead the Sixth Division to fight against Linjiang." Zhao Ding said happily: "After years of retreat, the enemy has become more and more arrogant, and now the holy family is bound to succeed." He ordered Zhang Jun to lead his men to help Han Shizhong, ordered Liu Guangshi to send troops to build health, and urged Han Shizhong to invade. Han Shizhong defeated the Nomads in Dayi Town (Battle of Dayi Town). When the uproar was raging, he sent someone to persuade him, "Why should Xianggong go to Shu by himself and suffer for others?" Han Shizhong also said to people: "Prime Minister Zhao is really bold." Zhao Ding heard that he was afraid that Emperor Gaozong would change his mind in the middle, so he took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty has been raising troops for ten years and is going to battle today. Retreat a little, people are distracted, and the danger of the Yangtze River is irreversible. " When the good news came, Emperor Gaozong arrived at Pingjiang, issued a letter denouncing Liu Yu's treason, and planned to personally lead the troops to cross the river for a decisive battle. Zhao Ding said: "It is wrong for the enemy to come from afar, which is conducive to a quick decision and fighting the enemy. Besides, Liu Yu only sent his son, so why bother your majesty? " The emperor therefore gave up. Soon after, Hu Songnian, who signed the Privy Council, came back from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and said that there were a large number of enemy soldiers in the north, only to know that Zhao Ding had foresight.

Zhang Jun was abandoned for a long time. Zhao Ding thought that Zhang Jun could take on a big responsibility, so he called Zhang Jun, asked him to go to the Privy Council to understand the situation, and ordered him to inspect the troops in the Yangtze River valley. At that time, the enemy soldiers stationed in Huainan for a long time, knowing that Song Jun was prepared, slowly planned to return to the north. Zhao Ding said: "Golden people can do anything." So that the generals invited the nomads from Huaihe River to attack, and they were defeated one by one, and the nomads fled. Emperor Gaozong said to Zhao Ding, "Now soldiers are fighting bravely for the first place, and guards from all over the country are responding to their own effects. It is the effect of my appointment. " Zhao Ding thanked him. "It all comes from your judgment. I didn't do anything. " Someone asked, "When they nest attacked, people were very scared. Only you said they weren't afraid. Why? " Zhao Ding said, "Although there are many enemy soldiers who came at the invitation of Liu Yu, they don't intend to come. They will not win the battle effectively, so they know that the enemy is not afraid. " Emperor Gaozong once said to Zhang Jun, "Zhao Ding is the real prime minister. It can be said that the country is lucky, and God asked him to help me rejuvenate. " Zhao Ding suggested that Jin people should flee to their homes, especially to listen to other people's opinions and do a good job in the aftermath. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Lv Yihao and others to discuss the offensive and defensive strategies to deal with Sui and Huai.

In the fifth year of Shaoxing (1 135), Emperor Gaozong returned to Lin 'an, and ordered Zhao Ding to shoot the Privy Council for the left servant and Zhang Jun to shoot the Privy Council for the right servant. Zhao Ding listed the talents who should be called in political affairs in turn, and put them on the edge of the seat, so that they could play in turn. The emperor ordered Zhao Yuan (Zhao Shen and Song Xiaozong), Guizhou's defense envoy, to protect the Qing army in feudal lord protector and build a great hall outside the palace gate. Zhao Ding recommended Fan Chong as Yishan and Zhu Zhen as Zandu, and public opinion in the imperial court thought that they were the best candidates in the world.

In the early years of the proposal, Emperor Gaozong wrote a letter to the treacherous court official slandering the blessing of Ren Xuan's holiness, and ordered it to be published by the History Museum, but it has not been implemented so far. Zhu Shengfei is the prime minister. Emperor Gaozong told him: "The historical events of Zongshen and Zhezong dynasties are inaccurate and cannot be passed on to future generations. Fan Chong should be published. " Zhu Shengfei said: "The History of Zongshen was added with Wang Anshi's Daily Record. The History of Zhezong passed through Cai Jing and Cai Bian, and most of the annotations were wrong. Ordering officials to delete it is enough to show the virtues of the two emperors. " Coincidentally, Zhu Shengfei left his post, and Zhao Ding and the Prime Minister supervised Ershi, each with his own right. Gao Zongqin gave him the words "Dezhongxin" and a volume of Shangshu written by himself, saying, "There are admonitions between the monarch and the minister in Shangshu, so I gave it to you, and I intend to guard it with you." Zhao Ding praised it.

Liu Yu sent Liu Lin and Liu Xian to attack separately. At that time, Zhang Jun was stationed in Xuyi, Yang Yizhong in Surabaya, Han Shizhong in Chuzhou, Yue Fei in Ezhou and Liu Guangshi in Luzhou. There are no troops in the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The emperor and Zhao Ding were very worried. Zhao Ding wrote a letter to Zhang Jun, telling him that he and Yang Yizhong joined forces to suppress the enemy. Liu Guangshi asked to give up Luzhou and return to Taiping, and also asked to hand over the quarry. Zhao Ding said, "Liu Yu is a traitor. The loyalist couldn't win the battle with Liu Yu, or even retreat. How can we build a country? " Now that the enemy has crossed the Huaihe River, we should quickly send Zhang Jun to meet Liu Guangshi's army to wipe out the enemy in Huainan, and then discuss whether to stay or not. "The emperor appreciated his plan and ordered two generals to invade. Zhang Junjun went to the lotus pond to fight Liu Xian and defeated the enemy. Zhao Ding ordered Yang Yizhong to help Liu Guangshi in Hefei, while Liu Guangshi had given up Luzhou and returned to Jiangbei. Zhang Jun wrote a letter to Zhao Ding, and Zhao Ding asked Gaozong to write a letter to Zhang Jun: Those who disobey orders will be punished by military law. Liu Guangshi was very surprised. He invaded the Fei River to fight liu ling, defeated the enemy, and liu ling and Ada fled.

When Zhang Jun was in the Yangtze River, he sent his subordinate Lu Zhi to Beijing to give lectures. His words were grandiose and he was often belittled by Zhao Ding. Emperor Gaozong said to Zhao Ding: "Zhang Jun will not be with you in the future, it must be because of Lu Zhi." Later, when Zhang Jun discussed political affairs, his language slightly offended Zhao Ding. Zhao Ding said, "At the beginning, Zhang Jun and I were like brothers. Because Lu Zhi alienated me, we couldn't get along. Since Zhang Jun has made meritorious service, we should let him show his talents. Zhang Jun should remain in office and I should leave. " Gao Zong said, "We will discuss it when Zhang Jun comes back." Zhang Jun once asked Emperor Gaozong to go to Jiankang, while Zhao Ding and Zheyan asked to return to Lin 'an. After Zhang Jun returned to Beijing, he requested to seize the opportunity to capture Henan, and went to Liu Guangshi as a military official. Zhao Ding said: "It is easy to capture Liu Yu, but if you get Henan, can you guarantee that the people will not invade again?" Liu Guangshi was dismissed as a general for no reason, and I'm afraid people will feel uneasy. "Zhang Jun is very unhappy. Zhao Ding knew about Shaoxing Building when he was studying in Guanwendian University.

In the seventh year of Shaoxing (1 137), Emperor Gaozong went to Jiankang to recall Liu Guangshi under Wang De's rule, with Li Qiong as his deputy and under the command of Lu Zhijie, a staff officer and minister of the Ministry of War. Li Qiong and Wang Deyou have an old grudge. They talk to Lu Zhi, but they can't complain. Therefore, they arrested Lu Zhi and led the whole army to surrender to the Puppet Army (Huaixi Army Rebellion). Zhang Jun resigned, and Emperor Gaozong called Zhao Ding to Beijing, and appointed him as longevity ambassador and attendant. When he entered the palace, he was awarded the posts of assistant minister Zuo, general secretary Zhang Pingzhang, and Tang emissary, and was promoted to the rank of four officials. Gao Zong said: "When the news about Huaixi began to be reported, the ministers in power did not do anything appropriate, but I was unmoved." Zhao Ding said: "We should wait for the generals now, otherwise it will increase their arrogance." Zhao Ding said: "If we go to North Korea to support100000 troops, the enemy attack can be resisted. If he changes, I will take responsibility. " Huaixi didn't call the police after he arrived.

Zhao Ding once asked to surrender Zhao 'an to help Huaixi. Emperor Gaozong said, "If I send Zhang Jun away, I will commit a crime." Zhao Ding said: "Zhang Jun has lost his position." Gao Zong said: "Zhang Jun's crime should be exiled to a distant place." Zhao Ding said: "Zhang Jun's mother is old and has the strength to protect your majesty." Gao Zong said: "Merits and demerits cannot be offset." Soon the approval of the palace was issued. Zhang Jun was demoted to Lingnan for resettlement, but Zhao Ding kept this approval and refused to issue it. The next morning, he invited his colleagues to save him. Emperor Gaozong was furious, and Zhao Ding tried to defend himself: "Zhang Jun's crime was just a mistake. Mortals do things in a planned way. If they are killed because of a mistake, the latecomers have their own tricks. Who can say? This matter is related to the imperial court, not just personal love for Zhang Jun. "The emperor's anger was resolved, so he ordered Zhang Jun to guard the yamen as a scattered official and settle in Yongzhou.

After Zhao Ding became prime minister again, he was accused of inaction. Zhao Ding said: "Today's situation is like a serious illness, so we should calm down and deal with it. If you attack it again, it will definitely hurt your vitality. " When the Golden Man was abolished, Zhao Ding sent spies to recruit Henan generals. Between Shou, Bo, Chen and Cai, it is often to take the city or lead the troops to surrender, and get tens of thousands of elite soldiers and thousands of horses. Liu Kun of Zhizhou also said: "Huaibei is constantly reforming, and it is estimated that there will be 40,000 to 50,000 people this year." Gao Zong said happily, "I often worry about the empty defense between the river and the pool for hundreds of miles. Now I can get these troops without worry. "

The Jin people sent envoys to negotiate peace, but the court public opinion thought it was not credible, and Emperor Gaozong was furious. Zhao Ding said, "Your Majesty and the people of the State of Jin have sworn enemies, and now they are willing to do so because of the coffins of two late emperors and their mothers. The angry words of ministers, out of love for you, cannot be a sin. Your majesty should tell them:' I didn't mean to make peace, but because of my relatives, I had to do so. As long as the second emperor's coffin and his mother come back, I will have no regrets even if the enemy betrays the alliance. ""The emperor listened to his suggestion, and his ministers talked about it in succession.

Pan thinks playing with things is too long. Emperor Gaozong intended to cure his crimes and often defended him. Emperor Gaozong intends to exile them together. Zhao Ding said: "Xiang Ziyin is not guilty, but he and Pan should not be dismissed." The two were finally fired. In this case, Zhang Zhiyuan thinks that they should not be expelled because they are jealous of their son. Without books, Emperor Gaozong was furious and looked at Zhao Ding and said, "I knew Zhang Zhiyuan would definitely surrender." Zhao Ding asked, "Why?" Gao Zong said, "Make friends with people." I was never satisfied with Zhao Ding because of preconceived ideas. Qin Gui continued to stay and play. When he came out, Zhao Ding asked, "What did your majesty say?" Qin Gui said: "Your Majesty didn't say anything, only worried that the Prime Minister would be unhappy."

Emperor Gaozong personally awarded the title of Zhao Yun lord protector, the special envoy of national defense. Zhao Ding said: "Although the founding of the People's Republic of China has not changed its name, the whole world knows that your majesty has a son, which is a national plan. Now that etiquette has to be changed, it will be chaotic to maintain people's hearts. " Gao Zong said, "Let's take our time." Qin Gui stayed and came out, not knowing what to say.

Zhao Ding once refuted this proposal and disagreed with Qin Gui. He went to Zhao Ding because he fought for Zhao Yun's national defense and anti-imperialism. Qin Gui took the opportunity to crowd out Zhao Ding and recommended Xiao Zhenren as his assistant. Xiao Zhenben was recommended by Zhao Ding. After he entered Taige, he impeached Liu Dazhong, a political official, and dismissed him. Zhao Ding said: "Xiao Zhen didn't mean Liu Dazhong." Xiao Zhen also told people: "Prime Minister Zhao left without telling." Just when Jason, an imperial envoy in the temple, accused Gou Jian, Gou Jian said, "Jason hit me because Zhao Ding did it on purpose." He vilified Zhao Ding's relationship with the remonstrators and generals in Taiwan Province. After hearing this, Emperor Gaozong became more suspicious. Zhao Ding claimed that he was ill and asked for forgiveness. He said: "Liu Dazhong is jealous of the justice of Zhang Dun and Cai Jing. My opinion is the same as that of Liu Dazhong. How can I stay when Liu Dazhong is gone? " He was sent to Shaoxing by our loyal soldiers and horses, and was soon added to the school and appointed as our national army. Qin Gui led the ruling minister to see him off, but Zhao Ding was rude to him and left, so Qin Gui hated him more and more.

After Zhao Ding left, Wang Shu went to the palace to meet him. Emperor Gaozong said to him, "Zhao Ding was a relative twice, and he made great contributions to the country. He could win two victories by assisting his private expedition, and he helped the health of the court. The court is safe. It is really not as good as others. " Prior to this, Wang Lun was sent to Xu Jinguo at the behest of Zhao Ding. Ask etiquette, and answer it according to the points of monarch and minister; Ask the boundary and answer with the river as the boundary. Both tasks are very important. If you don't follow them, give up. Wang Lun was ordered to do so. At this time, Wang Lun and the ambassador came to Beijing to appeal to Jiangnan. Emperor Gaozong sighed and said to Wang Shu, "If you got the news five days ago, how could Zhao Ding leave?"

At the beginning, Emperor Gaozong returned to Lin 'an, and the chamberlain planted bamboo in the inner palace. When Zhao Ding saw this, he rebuked him and said, "The flowers and stones in Genyue are your fault. Do you want to repeat the previous practice now? " Then things were played. The emperor changed his face and apologized. When an official sent money to the palace, Zhao Ding called him to the Prime Minister's Office and severely criticized him. The next day, I asked Gao Zong, "Has anyone donated money?" Gaozong said, "I asked for it." Zhao Ding said: "Someone should not give money, and your majesty should not ask for money." Then move this person to a place.

Zhao Ding once recommended dozens of people to the court, such as Hu Yin, Wei Shigong, Yan Dunfu, Pan,, and so on. After being re-appointed as prime minister, he said, "Now, you are talking about praising kindness, such as Liu Dazhong, Hu Yin, Lv Benzhong, Chang Tong and Lin Jizhong. Can your majesty appoint them? I hate evil, such as Zhao Pei, Hu Shijiang, Zhou Mi, Chen Gongfu and others. Can your majesty get rid of it? " The emperor moved the world for him, and Chen Gongfu and others were soon appointed as local officials. Emperor Gaozong ordered two people to be sent to the court for promotion in the palace. Zhao Ding said, "How do you know your majesty's name?" Gaozong: "Always praise them together." Zhao Ding said, "I always know that they are talented people. Why not recommend them publicly? "

At the beginning, Zhang Jun recommended Qin Gui to make contributions together, so did Zhao Ding when he was in power again. However, Qin Gui is full of risks. He is easy-going in appearance, but he has objections in his heart. Zhang Jun once asked Zhao Ding. When I arrived at Yuegai Temple, I hated him for pushing myself, so I appointed him as the whole state, thanked him for his false life, and seized his festival. In the proposal, Wang Ciong accused Zhao Ding of failing to govern the country, and Emperor Gaozong ordered him to promote Dong Xiao Palace. Zhao Ding came back from Quanzhou and wrote a letter to discuss current politics. Qin Gui was afraid that he would be used again. Wang Ci-weng accused him of accepting a false life, embezzling150,000 yuan from the viceroy's office and demoting him to Xinghua Army. The accuser still refused to give up, and the court ordered him to move to Zhangzhou. He was also responsible for being the deputy envoy of Qingyuan Army and placed in Chaozhou.

Zhao Ding has been in Chaozhou for five years, so he refuses to talk about current affairs. When asked, he only blamed himself. Zhong Chengzhan generously slandered him for taking bribes and instructed Chaozhou officials to arrange for him to move to Jiyang Army among the immigrants. Zhao Ding thanked the table and said, "Where do the bald heads go? The days of disappointment are numbered; Dan Xin did not die and vowed to die nine times. " Qin Gui said, "The old man is still the same."

Zhao Ding lived in Jiyang for three years, living in seclusion, and all his followers were afraid to write greetings. Only Guangxi advocated that Zongyuan sent some glutinous rice. When Qin Gui found out, he ordered his troops to declare their survival every month. Zhao Ding sent someone to tell his son Zhao Fen, "Qin Gui must kill me. When I die, you don't care; Otherwise it will be a disaster. " He was ill before, so he wrote his own stone in the grave, recording his village and his years in office. At this time, the inscription in front of Zishu's tomb said, "Take the tail of a dustpan and go to heaven to make a magnificent mountain and river." Later generations called "riding a dustpan tail" the death of important state officials. His last words told his son to be buried, and he died of hunger strike on August 20th in the seventeenth year of Shaoxing (1 147). When he heard about it, the whole world was sad. In the eighteenth year of Shaoxing (1 148), he was buried. After Song Xiaozong acceded to the throne, posthumous title Zhao Ding, a teacher, gave posthumous title loyalty and Jane, and posthumously presented Feng Guogong. In the fifteenth year of Xichun (1 188), Zhao Ding, Lv Yihao, Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun returned to Gaozong Temple. His 12 descendants were appointed as officials.
