Zong Ze, whose name is Ru Lin, is from Yiwu, Wuzhou. Liu, the mother, dreamed that there was fierce thunder and lightning in the sky, illuminating her body, and Zong Ze was born the next day. Zong Ze was bold and ambitious since he was a child, and he was a scholar in Zhongyuan (1191) for six years. When interviewing in the imperial court, Zong Ze tried to point out Chen's shortcomings. The examiner hated him for being too straight and ranked him as the last one.

Zong Ze was transferred to the county commandant of Guantao County. Lv Huiqing, as the commander of Yan Shuai, sent a message to Zong Ze and Yi Ling to inspect the dike facilities of the Yellow River. When the message arrived, it happened that Zong Ze's eldest son died, but Zong Ze was ordered to leave immediately. Lv Huiqing learned that he said, "It can be called forgetting his home for his country." At that time, the imperial court was digging the royal river on a large scale. In the middle of winter, the serviceman died of rigidity in Tao, but the envoy still urged it urgently. Zong Ze thought it was a trivial matter to dredge the royal river, so he wrote to the commander: "When the weather in the north is cold, it is difficult for the people to succeed in vain. If you slow down a little, you can succeed without bothering in the early spring." Finally, the handsome minister played his opinion to the emperor and was adopted. Lv Huiqing called Zong Ze as his subordinate, and Zong Ze declined.

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

Zong Ze was transferred to Zhao Cheng County, Jinzhou. After taking office, Zong Ze wrote a letter requesting that Zhao Cheng be promoted from county to army, and presented a book, but the court did not fully adopt his request. Zong Ze said, "Cheng usually has no worries, but if there is an alarm in the future, you will know what I said."

Zong Ze was appointed as the magistrate of Ye County, Laizhou. When the imperial court sent envoys 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 official. Zong Ze said, "This is what I Zong Ze meant." And personally played this matter to the emperor.

Zong Ze was appointed as the general judge of Dengzhou. There are hundreds of hectares of official land in Dengzhou, all of which are barren. Every year, more than 11,111 yuan of taxes are paid, mostly from the people. Zong Ze played a request to be removed. The imperial court sent messengers from Dengzhou to unite Nuzhen and form an alliance at sea, plotting to attack Qidan. Zong Ze said to his relatives and friends, "There will be much trouble in the world." Zong Ze retired to Dongyang and built a hut in the valley.

In the first year of Jingkang (1126), Zhong Cheng, Chen Guoting and others jointly recommended Zong Ze to be appointed as Zong Zheng Shaoqing. Zong Ze said, "This trip is not going to be born again." When someone asked him why, Zong Ze said, "It's good that the enemy can repent and withdraw, otherwise how can he bow to the Jin people to humiliate your life?" Some people think that Zong Ze's uprightness and unyielding will be harmful to peace talks, so the emperor did not send him to the embassy, and appointed him as the Cizhou Zhizhou.

At that time, Taiyuan fell, and all the officials in Lianghe area were absent under an excuse. Zong Ze said, "It is impossible to escape from difficulties while receiving a salary from the imperial court." Zong Ze was ordered to ride alone on the same day, accompanied by only a dozen old and weak foot soldiers. After Cizhou was ravaged by enemy soldiers, the people fled and the warehouse was empty. Zong Ze arrived, repaired the city wall, dredged the pond, rectified the equipment, recruited volunteers, and began to make plans to stick to it. He said: "Xing, Luo, Magnetic, Yue and Xiang have 21,111 chosen men each. If the enemy attacks one county, the other four counties should help, so that the strength of one county is always maintained at 111,111." The emperor praised him and appointed Zong Ze as the general manager of Hebei militia. The Jin people broke through the real situation, led the troops to take Qingyuan from the south, and crossed the Yellow River from Li Gu. Worried that Zong Ze led his troops to track from the rear, they sent thousands of cavalry to attack Cizhou directly. Zong Ze armored himself into the city, ordered a strong man to ride and shoot the enemy away with an arm bow, then opened the door to pursue and killed hundreds of enemies. All the captured sheep, horses, gold and silks were rewarded to the soldiers.

Kang Wang once again sent an envoy to the Golden Camp. After passing through Cizhou, Zong Ze greeted him and said, "Su Wang will never come back, and now the enemy has called for the King in a sly way, hoping not to go." Kang Wang then turned back to Xiangzhou.

The imperial court issued a decree, with Zong Ze as the deputy marshal, and followed King Kang to set out to rescue the capital. Zong Ze thought that the soldiers should immediately cross Li Gu and cut off the enemy's return. Others disagreed, so Zong Ze led the troops to cross Li Gu 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 separately. Zong Ze sent strong men to attack Jinying by night, and breached more than 31 mounds.

At that time, Kang Wang set up the Grand Marshal's Mansion, ordering the generals to be famous. Zong Ze crossed the Yellow River on ice and met Kang Wang, saying that the city had been besieged for a long time, and the rescue of the city should not be slow. It happened that Cao Fu, the Privy Council official who signed the book, came from Beijing with wax to seal Qin Zong's hand, and it was possible to talk and discuss. Zong Ze said, "The Jin people are cunning, but they just want to deceive our army. Your father's hope for rescue is better than hunger and thirst. He should make the soldiers go straight to the abyss and build camps in turn to solve the siege of the capital. In case the enemy has other plots, our soldiers are already at the gate. " Wang Boyan and others tried to block it, and advised Kang Wang to send Zong Ze first. From then on, Zong Ze could not participate in the deliberation in Marshal's House.

In the first month of the second year of Jingkang, Zong Ze went to Kaide, and he won all 13 battles with the Jin people. He sent a letter to advise Kang Wang to order all the priests to send troops to Beijing. Zong Ze also sent letters to Zhao Ye, the general manager of North Road, Fan Ne, the envoy of Xuanfu of Hedong North Road, and Zeng Mao, the government of Zhixing Renfu, asking them to join forces to rescue the capital. All three people thought Zong Ze was arrogant and ignored him. Zong Ze led the army forward alone, and Chen Cui said that the enemy was in full swing and could not make a move. Zong Ze was angry and wanted to behead Chen Cui. The generals asked for forgiveness of Chen Cui and let him work with death. Zong Ze ordered Chen Cui to invade and meet the enemy. Chen Cui defeated the enemy. When the Jin attacked and opened Germany, Zong Ze sent Kong Yanwei 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 came to attack Puyang and were defeated again. Jin attacked Germany for the second time, and Quan Bangyan and Kong Yanwei joined forces to attack, and Jin Bing was defeated again.

Zong Ze led the troops to Weinan, considering that he would be alone in Serenade and could not succeed without going deep into the enemy camp. The Pioneer Officer reported that there was an enemy barracks ahead, and Zong Ze commanded his soldiers to go straight ahead and engage the enemy and defeat him. Zong Ze led the troops to the east, and the enemy kept sending reinforcements. Wang Xiaozhong died in battle, and there were enemy camps before and after. Zong Ze ordered: "Now both advance and retreat are mortal, and we have to survive from death." Soldiers know that they will always die, and they will kill thousands of enemies without exception. The Jin people were defeated and retreated dozens of miles. Zong Ze estimated that the enemy was ten times more than himself. If he retreated after World War I today, he would definitely come again. If all the nomads from the army were dispatched to attack our army at night, it would be dangerous. So he moved the army in the dark. The Jin people arrived that night, leaving only an empty camp. They were very frightened. From then on, they were afraid of Zong Ze and dared not send troops to fight again. Zong Ze, by surprise, sent troops across the Dagou River to launch an attack and defeated the Jin people. According to the old system, Kang Wang appointed Ren Zongze as the emblem cabinet to be made.

At that time, the Jin people threatened Emperor Hui and Emperor Qin to go north. When Zong Ze learned that, he immediately led his troops to Sliding State, passed through Liyang and reached Daming. He wanted to cross the Yellow River directly, control the retreat of the Jin people and intercept Emperor Hui and Emperor Qin, but none of the soldiers who were loyal to the king arrived. Zong Ze also heard that Zhang Bangchang had usurped the throne, and wanted to lead the troops in a crusade. It coincided with a letter from the Marshal's Office, asking him to lead his troops close to the capital and stay put to observe the changes in the situation. Zong Ze wrote back to Kang Wang, saying, "How can a minister sit in the main hall wearing a robe and a red cover?" Since ancient times, treacherous court officials have always been deferential in appearance and concealed evil intentions. Unlike Zhang Bangchang, they did not steal the throne, change the era, grant amnesty and commit crimes. Now Emperor Huiqin and the kings have crossed the Yellow River north, and only the king is still in the economy, which shows the meaning of heaven. We should immediately crusade for 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."

Zong Ze also wrote, "The hope of the world now lies in the King. If the King acts in the right way, it can comfort the hearts of the people all over the world. The so-called Tao is to be upright and just, stay away from weak and evil, accept exhortation and refuse flattery, advocate modesty and thrift, restrain arrogance and extravagance, pay attention to hardship and diligence, forget ease and enjoyment, advocate pragmatism and suppress selfishness and hypocrisy. " Then repeatedly wrote to advise Kang Wang Zhao Gou to be aggressive.

Kang Wang was the emperor in Nanjing, and Zong Ze met each other in the DPRK, exchanged tears and put forward the plan of 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 thought Zong Ze was a strange man. The emperor wanted to keep Zong Ze, Huang Qianshan 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 the land, and Zong Ze wrote: "The world belongs to Taizong and Taizong. Your majesty should be conscientious and think about passing it on to the world for generations to come. Why did you agree to cede Hedong and Hexi in haste, and also promised to cut off Puxian and Hexie County in Shaanxi Province? Since the Jin people invaded again, the imperial court has not appointed a general and sent a soldier, but only heard the treacherous minister, who advocated peace early and asked for a good alliance late, which finally led to the north of Huiqin Emperor and the humiliation of Zongshe. I thought your majesty would be outraged, and explicitly rewarded and dismissed to rebuild the royal family. Now your majesty has been on the throne for 41 days, but he has not heard a big order, except that the commander of the Ministry of Punishment said,' Amnesty shall not be issued to Hexie County, Puxian County, Hedong County and Shaanxi Province.' This is to suppress the loyalty of the world, and to die for the people. Although I am stupid and timid, I am willing to take the plunge, and I will be satisfied if I can die for my country before all the generals. "The emperor after watching Zong Ze hydrophobic feel very solemn and stirring. Zong Ze was changed to know Qingzhou, when he was sixty-nine years old.

The post of chief executive of Kaifeng Prefecture is vacant. Li Gang said that it is necessary for Zong Ze to stabilize and restore the old capital. Soon, Zong Ze was appointed as Zhifengfu. At this time, the enemy still stayed on the edge of the Yellow River, and the sound of drums could be heard day and night, but all the warships in Beijing were scrapped, soldiers lived with the people, thieves were rampant, and people were in panic. Zong Ze has always had a high prestige. After arriving in Kaifeng, he first killed several thieves. Zong Ze ordered that "thieves, regardless of the amount of stolen goods, should be punished according to military law." Since then, the thieves have subsided and the people have been at peace.

Wang Shan, a thief in Hedong, has 711,111 men and 11,111 chariots, and wants to occupy the capital. Zong Ze rode alone to Wang Shan's barracks and said to Wang Shan in tears, "When the imperial court is in danger, if there are one or two men like Gong, how can there be any foreign invasion?". Now is the time for you to make meritorious deeds, 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, yangjin claimed to be a horned cow, with 311,111 mercenaries, and Wang Zaixing, Li Gui and Wang Dalang each had tens of thousands of mercenaries, traveling between Jingxi, Huainan, Henan and Hebei, harassing and looting, which became a disaster. Zong Ze sent someone to tell them to be blessed and ill, and to surrender them all. Zong Ze on hydrophobic request the emperor to return to Beijing. Soon, the emperor issued a letter: Jing, Xiang, Jiang and Huai are all ready for the emperor to patrol. Zong Ze wrote: "The Kaifeng price market is gradually returning to normal. Soldiers, family members, business travelers, and scholar-officials who are loyal to each other all hope that your majesty will return to the capital immediately to comfort people. Those who put forward different opinions are not out of loyalty to your majesty, but just like Zhang Bangchang and others, secretly colluding with the Jin people. " Zong Ze was appointed as a bachelor of Yankang Hall, a stay-at-home in Beijing, and a Kaifeng Yin.

Jin sent people to Kaifeng in the name of being an envoy to the puppet state. Zong Ze said, "This is an envoy in name, but in fact it is to explore our reality." So he detained his emissary, and Shang Shu asked for execution. The imperial court ordered Zong Ze to relocate the detained envoys of the State of Jin to other buildings for resettlement. Zong Ze said, "The country has been at peace for 211 years, and it doesn't know about the war, and it takes the deception of the enemy as honesty without any doubt. Not only did they not make careful plans to attack and crusade, but they did not think it was crazy for those who did not forget the enemy's enmity and hoped to serve the country faithfully, so they thought it was stupid, which led to the previous disaster of Jingkang. What Zhang Bangchang, Geng Nanzhong and others did was witnessed by your majesty. Now the Jin people are trying to explore our reality under the guise of being a traitor, and the foolish minister requests that they be beheaded to break the Jin people's plot. However, your majesty was confused by people's words, and ordered to be placed in other buildings and treated well. The foolish minister dared not serve the letter to show the weakness of the country. " The emperor then personally sent a letter to inform Zong Ze, and finally released Jin Shi. People in the imperial court agreed with Huang Qianshan, saying that it was improper for Zong Ze to detain Jin Shi. Shangshu Zuo Cheng Xu Jingheng wrote to argue for Zong Ze, and said: "Zong Ze is Kaifeng Yin, who has a great reputation and outstanding achievements. No one can compare with him now. Ask for a heavy responsibility so that he can succeed in defending the enemy and governing the people. "

Between Zhending, Huai and Wei, there are many enemy soldiers, and they are stepping up the construction of fighting equipment to make plans for attacking, but the generals of the imperial court are careless and unprepared, and Zong Ze is worried. So he crossed the Yellow River and contacted the generals to discuss the offensive and defensive matters in order to recover lost ground. And around the capital, a defense ambassador was set up to lead the newly convened soldiers. In addition, twenty-four solid defensive walls were built outside the city according to the terrain, and lianzhuzhai was established in turn along the river line to connect the loyal militia in 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 listen to Zong Ze's command. Emperor Gaozong sent a letter to visit Huaidian. Zong Ze wrote an admonition, but the court ignored it.

Bing Yilang Yue Fei will be punished for breaking the law. Zong Ze was surprised to see Yue Fei and said, "This is a general." Just as Jin attacked Si Shui, Zong Ze handed over 511 cavalry to Yue Fei, asking him to make contributions to atonement. Yue Fei was defeated by the Jin people, so Zong Ze promoted Yue Fei to control, and Yue Fei became famous.

Zong Ze came back from Hebei to inspect the military, and Shang Shu said, "Your majesty is still in Nandu, and people are worried. Everyone thinks that your majesty has abandoned the clan court, leaving the country with nothing to rely on and the people with no respect. Your Majesty should immediately return to Bianjing to comfort the people. " Didn't get an answer from the court. Zong Ze also wrote a letter to protest, saying, "The state has made an alliance with the Jin people, hoping to make the people peaceful. However, in the end, the Jin people invaded and plundered, and they did everything they could, so the result of sticking to and discussing it was not enough to make the people peaceful. At that time, some people pandered to seek wealth, while others were convicted of not being attached to each other. In your majesty's opinion, it is the one who sought wealth in the past, right? Or the one who was convicted of disobedience, right? People who advocate the transfer of Xunxing now are just like those who used to think that peace talks were feasible; Now people who advocate that they can't move to other places 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, the capital is an inheritance accumulated in 211 years. Why did your majesty easily give it up to the enemy? "

Emperor Gaozong sent officials to greet the Sixth Palace in Jinling, and Zong Ze wrote: "The capital is the heart of the world. Although there is no peace in the two rivers area, just one arm is not enough to rely on. Now I want to give it up in a hurry, not only to damage one arm, but also to abandon the abdomen. In the past years of Jingdezhen, the Khitan invaded Aiyuan. If Wang Qin was from Jiangnan, he advised the emperor to visit Jinling; if Chen Yaocuo was from Shu, he advised the emperor to visit Chengdu. Only Kou Zhun resolutely asked the emperor to make a personal expedition, and finally adopted Kou Zhun's suggestion to succeed. I dare not compare with Kou Zhun, but I dare not compare your majesty to the emperor. " Zong Ze also presented five things, one of which was that Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan advocated improper southern tour of Jiangnan. Zong Ze's suggestions, after three provinces and the Privy Council, were often suppressed by Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and others. Every time they saw Zong Ze's performance, they were ridiculed as crazy.

Jin will cross the Yellow River and plan to attack Bianjing. The generals should cut off the river bridge first, and Yan Bing stuck to it. Zong Ze scoffed and said, "Last winter, the enemy came straight at us, precisely because the river bridge was cut off." So he ordered Liu Yan to go to Sliding State, and Liu Da to Zhengzhou, in order to disperse the enemy forces, and warned the generals to protect the river bridge to wait for the soldiers to gather. The Jin people learned that they broke the river bridge at night and fled.

In the second year of Jianyan (1128), Jin people arrived in Baisha from Zhengzhou, which was very close to Bianjing, and people in the capital were frightened. The family came in to ask for a plan, and Zong Ze was surrounded with the guests.
