The Jin people set up Liu Yu as an envoy to defend Nanjing. Tang Zuo and song Ru sent people to inform the court with wax letters. In 1132, Shaoxing was killed. Zhao Gou, the Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, later issued an imperial edict to the Youge Pavilion of Zuohui in the Tang Dynasty, and granted a white jade tablet (Volume 59 of the chronicles since Jianyan).

Life of the characters

In the third year of Yuanfu (1100), Emperor zhezong of the Song Dynasty, Lingtang Zuozi was a Jinshi in the imperial examination. He was granted the title of damingfu Si Hu to join the army and transferred Xiajin County Magistrate. He was appointed as an official by imperial edict. He raised the capital and Changping in Jiangdong, knew Yanzhou, and impeached him. At the beginning of Emperor Gaozong's construction, he began to raise the capital punishment prison. Jianyan three years (1129), know Nanjing. He was a Jinshi in the third year of Yuanfu of song zhezong. After Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty, ascended the throne in Nanjing (now Shangqiu, Henan Province), he nominated Ling tangzuo as the capital punishment prison and added Zhimi Pavilion. In the third year of Jianyan, Ling tangzuo was appointed the magistrate of Nanjing. At that time, Nanjing was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Ling tangzuo was the magistrate of Yingtian in Nanjing, with great responsibility. It can be seen that Ling tangzuo was deeply appreciated by Zhao Gou. At that time, the magistrate of Jinan was Liu Yu. Liu Yu was fighting with Jin Bing, and Jin general Talan promised wealth, but Liu Yu surrendered. Liu Yu obeyed Jin's orders and helped Jin capture Nanjing. According to the records of people in Xin'an, when Ling tangzuo was the magistrate of Yingtian in Nanjing, it was the time when the Jin soldiers invaded on a large scale. Zhao Gou moved his capital to Yangzhou with his Chinese military ministers, while Ling tangzuo stayed in Nanjing to resist the enemy, so Ling tangzuo was called the left behind magistrate of Nanjing. When Nanjing city was besieged by hundreds of thousands of golden soldiers, Ling tangzuo was determined to defend the city and survive with the city. After Nanjing city was captured by Jin soldiers, Ling tangzuo was captured. Ling tangzuo was awe inspiring and unyielding in front of the enemy, which made the commander-in-chief of the Jin Dynasty admire him very much. On the one hand, he made an exception to release him, and on the other hand, he instructed Liu Yu, the rebel general of the Song Dynasty, to persuade Ling tangzuo to become an official in the Privy Council of the Jin Dynasty. Ling Tang Zuojian never agreed, but the Jin people had no choice but to let him stay in yingtianfu in order to influence him. However, zuomingli stayed in yingtianfu, but he was not lured by Jin's wealth. Instead, he secretly sorted out the military information of Jin soldiers, sealed it into a wax book, and sent it to the Southern Song Dynasty. We are ready to ask for reinforcements to come here and cooperate with each other to recover Nanjing. After the incident was revealed, Ling tangzuo was arrested again and taken to Bianliang (now Kaifeng). When Liu Yu interrogated Ling Tang Zuo, he said: the state of Jin is so kind to you, why do you want to betray us? Ling tangzuo asked him, "what's wrong with you? Why do you go along with the thieves? Liu Yu was so angry that he tied Ling tangzuo up and hung him for a few days, but Ling tangzuo never gave in. In the second year of Shaoxing, Ling tangzuo was killed, along with his wife Tian. Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, was deeply moved when he heard about Ling tangzuo's deeds. He issued an imperial edict to give Ling tangzuo Huiyou Pavilion and a white jade tablet. In the Ming Dynasty, in order to commemorate some loyal and righteous people in history, a Baozhong temple was built in the ancient city of Shangqiu. Three people were worshipped in the Baozhong temple. One of them was Ling tangzuo, the left behind magistrate of the Southern Song Dynasty.

One way out of the remote Cen, gurgling to the present. the sound of the snowy sky flows jade, the shadow of the moon shakes gold. He has made great achievements in drought, and his people have been deeply praised. Fuqiu and Xuandi, immortal traces can be traced. this is a poem written by Ling tangzuo called Huangshan Tangquan, which records the legend that Xuanyuan, the ancestor of Chinese culture, once immersed in Huangshan Tangquan for seven days, his wrinkles were eliminated, he was rejuvenated, and finally he became an immortal in Huangshan.

Commemoration of later generations

Jade stele

Ling tangzuo's tomb is located in the south of xiangtangzhuang village in the northwest corner of huoshentai, covering an area of about 15 mu. On both sides of the road between the west gate of Shangqiu ancient city and the tomb of lingtangzuo, there are statues of stone man, stone lion and stone horse. Because the white jade stele symbolizes the dignity of the emperor, all the people who come to lingtangzuo's tombstone are respectful, civil servants get off the sedan chair, military officials get off the horse. According to the people of xiangtangzhuang village, the white jade tablet is transparent in white and soft in texture. It can knock down a small piece with force, and it can also scratch down some powder with a nail. Once upon a time, xiangtangzhuang people cut their hands when they cut wheat. They scraped some powder on the white jade tablet to stop bleeding. The wound was not only not inflamed, but also healed quickly. After the founding of new China, because of the elimination of superstition, the Ling family did not dare to worship at Ling tangzuo's grave. In 1958, Ling tangzuo's tomb was stolen, and the white jade tablet was smashed to pieces.

Lingjia house

There is Ling tangzuo's original residence in the West Third Street of liuyushou in the ancient city of Shangqiu. According to Ling Runhua, the descendant of Ling tangzuo, there are two gatehouses in the former lingjiayuan house, with stone lions guarding the door, and two guard rooms with guards. The entrance gate is divided into two courtyards: the front yard is a living room with four rooms in the north, West and South; the back yard is a main room with five rooms in the north, East and West. The Lingjia house was destroyed in the cultural revolution.

Baozhong Temple

In the Ming Dynasty, Ling tangzuo was worshipped in the Baozhong temple built in the ancient city of Shangqiu. According to the records of Shangqiu County annals and guide Prefecture annals, Baozhong temple was dedicated to Ling tangzuo, a resident of Nanjing in Song Dynasty, Dong Lun, a school inspector of guide Prefecture in Ming Dynasty, and Chen wenshiye, a Juren of Zhecheng city. Among them, it is recorded that Ling tangzuo was born in Xiuning. At the beginning of Jianyan period, he stayed in Nanjing and was killed. He gave Huiyou pavilion to be made. When Zhao Gou was king of Kang, Ling tangzuo was Zhao Gou's bodyguard, and then he came to Shangqiu with his family. It is precisely because Ling tangzuo once served as a bodyguard for the emperor. Many old people in Suiyang district who knew Ling tangzuo called Ling tangzuo bodyguard. After Ling tangzuo died, his family did not move back to their ancestral home, but settled down in Shangqiu. Apart from the descendants of changmen, most of his descendants now live in houlingge village in Zhangge town of Liangyuan district and qianlingge village in mangzhongqiao township of Yucheng County, with about 1000 people. Ling tangzuo's descendants have been living in his mansion in Shangqiu. His last eldest grandson, Ling Jisheng, was born in 1919 and died of illness at the age of 27. Ling Jisheng's wife, Yang Gezhi, never remarried all her life and brought up Ling Runhua, Ling Jisheng's only daughter. According to Ling Runhua, when her father was alive, every year on Tomb Sweeping Day, men from former Lingge village and later Lingge village would come to her home, and under the leadership of her father Ling Jisheng, they would sacrifice to Ling tangzuo's grave. After the sacrifice, they had a meal at her home, and the clansmen had a discussion together and then dispersed. The reason why Ling's family meet at Ling's home every year is not only because Ling's family is a direct relative, but also because Ling tangzuo's graveyard is rented by Ling's family. During the cultural revolution, the Baozhong ancestral hall dedicated to Ling tangzuo was destroyed. In 1997, Ling Runhua's mother Yang Gezhi died. This chaste woman, who has been a widow for more than 50 years, hopes to be buried in the ancestral Tomb of the Ling family after her death, but the tomb of Ling tangzuo has been destroyed for 30 to 40 years. It is precisely because many elderly people in xiangtangzhuang village still remember Ling bodyguard and Baiyu tablet that they were finally allowed to bury Yang Gezhi in the fields of xiangtangzhuang village. When Ling Runhua buried his mother in the Ling family cemetery, he also set up a monument for his mother. recently, Ling Runhua began to work for the reconstruction of Ling tangzuo's tombstone and Baozhong temple. Ling Runhua said that the loyal and righteous Ling tangzuo is not only the pride of their descendants, but also a valuable historical and cultural heritage of Shangqiu. Shangqiu should build a ancestral hall for such a loyal and heroic stay at home magistrate in history for future generations to remember.
