Wen Tianxiang called down archers to Zhou Xun and stationed them in Nanling. Li He conspired to surrender secretly, was caught and killed. In March of the third year of Jingyan (AD 1278), Wen Tianxiang entered Lijiang Pu. In June, I entered the boat bay. King Iraq died and Wang Wei succeeded him. Wen Tianxiang blamed himself and requested to enter the DPRK, but was not allowed. In August, Wen Tianxiang was named Shao Bao and Xin Guogong. The plague spread again in the army and hundreds of soldiers died. Wen Tianxiang's only son and mother are dead. 1 1 month, entering Chaoyang county. Chen Yi and Liu Xing, the thieves of Chaozhou, rebelled against impermanence many times, which was a great harm to Chaoyang people. Wen Tianxiang drove Chen Yi away, caught Liu Xing and killed him. /kloc-in 0/2 months, they rushed to Nanling, and Zou Yun and Liu Zijun came from Jiangxi to attack Chen Yi's henchmen again. Chen Yi then secretly colluded with Zhang Hongfan to help and guide the Yuan Army to attack Chaoyang. Wen Tianxiang was eating at Wupo Ridge when suddenly Zhang Hongfan's army appeared. All the soldiers were caught off guard and hid in the weeds. Wen Tianxiang fled in a hurry and was caught by thousands of kings of Yuan Army. Wen Tianxiang swallowed the brain (that is, borneol) and didn't die. Zou Yi cut his neck, and all the soldiers helped him to Nanling before he died. At that time, Liu Zijun, Chen, Xiao Mingzhe and Xiao Zi died, Du Hu was caught and died of grief. Only Zhao escaped, while Zhang Tang, Xiong Gui, Wu and Chen Ziquan were captured alive and executed.
Wen Tianxiang was taken to Chaoyang, and when he met Zhang Hongfan, officials around him ordered him to bow down, but he didn't. Zhang Hongfan received him as a guest, followed him into the mountains, and asked him to write to Zhang Shijie. Wen Tianxiang said: "I can't defend my parents and teach others to betray their parents?" Because I was forced to ask for letters many times, I wrote a poem "Crossing the Ocean of Zero Ding" for them. The last sentence of this poem says: "No one has died since ancient times. Take the heart of Dan and follow the history of history." Zhang Hongfan put it away with a smile. Zhang Hongfan said, "The loyalty and filial piety of the Prime Minister have been exhausted. If you can change your attitude and serve the Great Yuan Emperor as you served the Song Dynasty, you will not lose your position as prime minister. " Wen Tianxiang said tearfully, "The country is doomed. As a courtier, death is not just a crime. How dare you drag out an ignoble existence with two hearts? " Zhang Hongfan felt his righteousness and sent someone to escort Wen Tianxiang to Beijing.
On the way, Wen Tianxiang didn't eat for eight days, and then he ate again before he died. In Yanjing, the librarians are diligent and luxuriously furnished. Wen Tianxiang didn't sleep until dawn. So he handed it over to the army and let the foot soldiers guard it. At that time, Kublai Khan searched for talented officials in the Southern Song Dynasty many times. Wang Jiweng said, "No one can match Wen Tianxiang in the Southern Song Dynasty." So he sent Wang Jiweng to convey the imperial edict. Wen Tianxiang said, "When my country dies, I can only die to serve my country. If I can return to my hometown as a Taoist because of forgiveness, I will be a consultant in a non-secular capacity in the future. If I immediately give it to a senior official, not only will the doctor who died in the country not survive here, but he will also abandon all his life ambitions. What's the use of appointing me? " Wang Jiweng wanted to join Song Guan Xie Changyuan and other ten people in demanding the release of Wen Tianxiang as a Taoist priest. Liu disagreed, saying, "After Wen Tianxiang was released, he called for resisting Yuan in Jiangnan. What about my ten people? " This incident was later forgotten. Wen Tianxiang stayed in Yanjing for three years. Kublai Khan knew that Wen Tianxiang never gave in, so he discussed with the Prime Minister to let him go. When someone used Wen Tianxiang's uprising on Jiangnan West Road as an excuse, the result was not released.
Wen Tianxiang is dead.
In the 19th year of Yuan Dynasty (AD 1282), a monk in Fujian said that Saturn had offended the emperor, and he suspected that there was an accident. Soon, a madman in Zhongshan called himself "Lord of the Song Dynasty" and took thousands of soldiers to save Wen Tianxiang. There is also an unsigned letter in the capital, saying that one day, the reeds in the city burned out, leading the soldiers on both sides to make a mess, and the Prime Minister would have no worries. At that time, the thief had just assassinated Ahema, the left prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, so he ordered the demolition of the city reed and moved Duke Ying and the imperial clan of the Song Dynasty to Kaiping. The Yuan court suspected that the prime minister mentioned in the letter was Wen Tianxiang.
Yuan Ting summoned Wen Tianxiang and told him, "What's your wish?" Wen Tianxiang replied, "Tianxiang owed a lot to the Song Dynasty. As a prime minister, how to serve the second surname? I will be satisfied when I die. " However, Kublai Khan couldn't bear it, so he waved him away. Some said that Wen Tianxiang's request should be granted, and imperial edicts could. In a short time, the letter stopped, and Wen Tianxiang died. When Wen Tianxiang was in the execution ground, he was particularly unhurried and said to the prison officer, "My business is over." Bow to the south and be executed. A few days later, his wife, Ouyang Shi, packed up her body and had a beautiful face, at the age of 47. There is a compliment on his clothes: "Confucius said to be benevolent, Mencius said to take justice, and only when loyalty and righteousness are exhausted will there be benevolence." What have you learned from reading the books of sages? From now on, I have a clear conscience.
