Volume 1 Wind and Rain into Lin'an Chapter 30 Monarchs and Ministers

(Xie: Bean paste bun with mung beans, have thoughts about you, 0 is not in this mountain 0, next door drops Lao Song and other brothers' rewards.) )

In fact, I am not afraid that they will come back to take their place, and even if they come back alive, there is no way for them to succeed. They are losers, losers who have ruined their ancestors, they have no face, and they have no ability to fight with themselves.

In fact, what I am afraid of is Yue Fei, and I am afraid that few people understand this. In other words, what he is afraid of is the group of generals led by Yue Fei, who are the thorns in his heart. That Yue Fei had 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and there was a name called 'Yue's Army', which was extremely ridiculous. That was the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, how did it become the army of his father-in-law? He won all battles, and his reputation was even louder than his own among the people, and people were in awe when their name was mentioned, and they did not have that much respect for him, which was an ominous and worrying sign. When Miao Liu mutinied, he never expected that Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan, would dare to threaten him with soldiers and horses and force himself to abdicate. But that's what they did. Since then, I have no trust in the bottom of my heart for these leading generals.

Yue Fei was too strong, and he couldn't control him anymore, so he had to die. Whether it is out of practical considerations or according to the meaning of the ancestral teachings of Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty cannot allow such a person to exist. The rule set by Taizu is not to let the generals sit big, which is definitely the most holy admonition, and killing Yue Fei by himself is also following Taizu's legacy.

Indeed, Yue Fei has made a lot of contributions, and killing him by himself will indeed lose the support of the people, and it is indeed a little difficult to kill him for any reason. Fortunately, with Qin Hui, everything will be easy to do. This Qin Hui is really indescribable.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qin has come to ask for a meeting."

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. Zhao Gouzheng thought of Qin Hui, and Kuang Xun, the personal attendant, shouted softly at the long window. interrupted Zhao Gou's thoughts.

Zhao Gou turned around and frowned, "What is he doing at this time?" ”

Kuang Xun bowed and said: "The minister doesn't know, does the emperor see it?" ”

Zhao Gou smiled: "How can there be a reason not to see the prime minister? He was waiting in Chunhui Pavilion, and I was coming. ”

Kuang Xun agreed to leave, Zhao Gou turned his head, glanced at the glorious scenery of the year under the sunset, calmed down his previous thoughts, and walked quickly off the terrace.

In the Chunhui Pavilion, when the prime minister Qin Hui was sitting quietly on the stool waiting, he was slightly fat, dignified, in a high position for more than ten years, and had a majestic air on his body. Although he is over the age of six, his hair and beard are still black, his eyes are sharp, and he is in good spirits.

When Zhao Gou entered the Chunhui Pavilion, Qin Hui was holding a tea bowl to his mouth, and when he saw Zhao Gou, Qin Hui hurriedly put down the tea bowl and bowed: "Minister Qin Hui knocks to see the official!" ”

Zhao Gou waved his hand, sat behind the bookcase and asked with a smile, "Why did Qin Qing's family come here at this time?" What is it that is coming to see me at this time? Don't bother me. ”

Qin Hui smacked his lips and said: "The emperor doesn't want to be upset, I'm not afraid, people are coming from the north, and the old minister has just met them." ”

Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "The golden envoy has arrived?" So fast? Didn't you say a few days ago that you had just left? Came so fast. ”

Qin Hui said: "Yes, it did come a little suddenly. Since Yan Liang ascended the throne, everything has been in full swing. ”

Zhao Gou nodded and said in a deep voice, "What did the envoy say?" Is it a matter of increasing the number of coins and silks? This is indeed a little unsatisfactory since Yan Liang ascended the throne, the Shaoxing Peace Conference was signed by both parties and needs to be followed, how can he put forward additional requirements at will? The golden people have no faith. ”

Qin Hui said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this will not be about the increase in the annual coins, but about the Jin Kingdom moving its capital." ”

Zhao Gou frowned and said, "Jin Guo moved the capital? Where to move? ”

Qin Hui said in a deep voice: "The golden envoy came to inform that Wanyan Liang wants to move the capital from Huining Mansion in Shangjing to Yanjing Mansion and change Yanjing to Daxing Mansion in Zhongdu, and has begun to build a palace in Yanjing Mansion, expand the city, and dig rivers to prepare. ”

Zhao Gou was silent, Yanjing is Youzhou, the center of the sixteen states of Youyun, and the block in the heart of the Great Song Dynasty. Since the founding of the country, there has not been a day when it does not want to recover, but now it is about to become the capital of the Jin people. Wanyan Liang moved the capital to Yanjing, which moved the capital of the Jin People's Kingdom to the south for nearly a thousand miles. In the past, it would have been unthinkable, because it was a frontier land, and no one had put the capital on the frontier. He did this precisely because half of the Great Song Dynasty became the land of the Jin people, and Youzhou was actually their hinterland, and there was no border worry for a long time.

"However, their intention to move the capital ...... Is it to facilitate the control of the encroachment of my Central Plains? Is there any other bad intention? Zhao Gou asked in a deep voice.

Qin Hui knew what the emperor's words meant, the emperor was worried that the Jin people would move the capital to the south, and there was a military attempt, so that the battle was more quickly transmitted and the command of the troops and horses was transmitted. Shangjing is nearly a thousand miles away from the Central Plains, and the Jin court cannot quickly command and dispatch troops and horses during military operations. Did the Jin people have any intention to move the capital to Yanjing? Qin Hui privately thought that there was definitely such a consideration, but he couldn't say it.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Wanyan Liang's relocation of the capital is for the sake of the stability of his throne. The emperor should know that Yan Liang's throne is not right, he killed the king and usurped the throne, and he is arrogant and cruel, obscene and ruthless, so the subjects of the Jin State will hate him to the core. In Shangjing, where the nobles of the Jin Kingdom gathered, these people were deeply rooted and connected with each other and had a close relationship. Once these people are united, it will be enough to control the land of Shangjing and oust Wan Yanliang from the throne. After Yan Liang moved the capital to Yanjing, he could cut off the foundation of the noble chieftains of Shangjing in the Jin Kingdom and better consolidate their power. Lao Chen thought that this was what he really thought. As for whether there were other intentions, the old minister did not dare to assert, but the old minister believed that what the old minister said above was his main purpose. ”

Zhao Gou nodded slightly, he thought that Qin Hui's analysis was reasonable. There are secrets in the royal family, and Emperor Taizu also wanted to move the capital to Luoyang. Emperor Taizu died suddenly, and no one knows what happened to the candle shadow axe that night. But one thing is certain, just before that, Emperor Taizu personally went to Luoyang to inspect the city, and had already decided to make preparations for moving the capital, that must be because he felt that Bianliang was not a place he could control. After Emperor Taizong entered the palace before Emperor Taizu's son Zhao Defang, no one objected, obviously the entire Bianliang was actually under the control of Emperor Taizong, so no one came out to oppose it.

Although these things were not widely publicized, and no one dared to talk about them, there were words circulating within the royal family to restore the situation at that time. It is said that Emperor Taizu felt threatened, so he made the decision to move the capital. Wan Yanliang's actions, to a certain extent, actually have a similar purpose.

"However, the Jin people moved the capital, but what does it have to do with my Great Song Dynasty? What does it mean to send a messenger? Zhao said.

Qin Hui looked at Zhao Gou silently, and said slowly in a deep voice: "Your Majesty...... I'm a big song...... There is an alliance with the Kingdom of Jin. I'm a big song...... Nominally...... The ...... of the Kingdom of Kim O vassals. ”

Zhao Gou's body was shocked, his face slowly turned pale, his straight waist slowly fell down, and the whole person was deflated like a ball.

"The peace agreement stipulates that every time there is a major event in the Jin Kingdom, my Great Song Dynasty will congratulate and present a gift. The relocation of the capital to the Jin State was a major event, and the cost was very huge, so Wan Yanliang sent an envoy to ask us for ...... Simply subsidize money and materials to help them complete the relocation of the capital. Qin Hui continued.

"How can this be true? Outrageous! The peace agreement stipulates that my Great Song Dynasty will give them 250,000 silver silks every year, and they will only give congratulatory gifts on festivals or the birthday of the gold lord, and he will also ask us for money when he moves the capital? Bastard, just bastard. Zhao Gou was furious, raised his foot and kicked over the bookcase, and the bookcase was scattered to the ground.

Qin Hui sat quietly, without panic or horror, and his face was extremely calm.

"Why should the emperor be angry about such a thing? Do you want to anger the Jin people for such a trivial matter and ruin the peace between the two countries that lasted for ten years? That's more than worth the loss. The golden people are just asking for money and things, isn't it just to give them a face? If you can't bear it, you will mess up the overall situation. My Great Song Dynasty is now thriving, and there is a trend of prosperity, if the country is rich and the people are strong, the army is strong, and the horses are strong, and then there will be a shame before blood. At this time, why should I fall out with them over this trivial matter? Qin Hui said in a deep voice.

Zhao Gou gasped and sat down slowly, gritted his teeth and said: "This is not an obligation stipulated in the peace conference, it is unreasonable to give them money and goods, and the court has decided to discuss it one after another, and it is full of righteous indignation. Those who want to fight will make a big fuss about it and add fuel to the fire. You don't know what's going on in those people's minds? I don't want to stir up public anger, that would cause a lot of trouble. I don't want to make a fuss, I just want to live a clean life, you know? ”

Of course, Qin Hui understands that although at this moment, the imperial court is under his control, but there is an undercurrent surging in secret, and the people's will is not stable. Yue Fei has been dead for ten years, and there are many people who shout injustice to him and scold themselves behind their backs. People up and down are thinking about fighting back to the north and recovering Bianliang. As soon as you encounter the slightest spark, these emotions will explode. The Shaoxing Peace Conference was already humiliated, and if there were other humiliating acts outside of the peace conference, those people would incite the people to indignate the people and mention the Northern Expedition in the name of breaking the Jin Covenant. Although it can be calmed by means of elastic pressure, it is by no means the best way to do so. I have already borne too much infamy, and in the end, these accounts will all be counted on my head, which is definitely not what I want to see.

"Your Majesty, the old minister knew the consequences of this matter, so the old minister discussed it with Tang Sihui and them, and felt that it was better to deal with this matter in a low-key manner. It is not advisable to make a big splash. Qin Hui stroked his beard and said.

"Tell me what you're going to do?" Zhao Gou asked.

"That's what the old minister thinks, and if he gives the money directly, I'm afraid it will arouse dissatisfaction. You can't give money, but you can give some supplies. Didn't Wan Yanliang want to build a palace in Yanjing? We can give him some construction materials such as wood and stone, which can be regarded as support for him, and it is more necessary, and it is not easy to attract criticism. The imperial court spent money to purchase these wood and stone materials, and purchased them in the name of expanding Lin'an Xingzai, and there was no criticism in the imperial court. These materials can be transported by water, which is busy and unobtrusive. As for how much it was appropriate to give to them, the golden man said that he would ask for two million taels of silver, which was impossible. Lao Chen totaled, and gave fifty boats of wood and stone materials, which would cost about three and a half million taels of silver. The Jin people are also lions with their mouths wide open, and I believe that they will not insist on rude demands. The old ministers will make it clear to them that this is not an obligation to the content of the peace agreement, but only a donation from the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty out of friendship with the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom. If they go too far, they get nothing. In this way, there is an explanation for both internally and externally. I don't know if the emperor thinks it's appropriate for the old minister to deal with it like this? Qin Hui said.
