In the seventh year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, the thirtieth day of the lunar month, in the afternoon.

Today is the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the first day of the first month of the eighth year of Xuanhe...... It seems that the shame of Jingkang will not be there anymore!

Because Song Huizong is not Zen, and Zhao Huan, the prince, does not ascend the throne, then there is no matter of changing Yuan Jingkang. Therefore, the first year of Jingkang became the eighth year of Xuanhe, and if Zhao Ji and his family let the gold thieves go to the Five Kingdoms City to drink the northeast wind, it would be the shame of Xuanhe rather than the shame of Jingkang.

However, at this time, in the Chongzheng Hall in the Kaifeng Imperial City, the official Zhao Ji and his ministers showed a relaxed expression that had not been seen for a long time when the golden soldiers were approaching.

This is not because Zhao Ji and his ministers' "instigation" has been alleviated (this instigation is not only genetic, but also contagious), but because Zhao Kai, the mad king, finally left Kaifeng Fucheng with thousands of his men and horses in the early hours of this morning and embarked on the long road of "going north to beg for mercy".

Not to mention whether his "begging for mercy" can be completed, as long as he can leave Kaifeng Fucheng, the monarchs and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Because this King Yun is so crazy, he actually dared to lead troops to break into Donghua Gate, and forced the official family who had already issued the edict of Inner Zen to withdraw his order. Since ancient times, I have heard that those who force people to abdicate the throne, where is there anyone who forces people to become emperors? This is simply too unusual, and it doesn't look like the planting of the Great Song Dynasty...... Although he looks very similar to Zhao Ji, his temperament is too outrageous, and he doesn't know who to follow?

is such a big king, with two or three thousand elite soldiers, living on the edge of the palace, who can be stable among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty? Even those who had always supported King Yun in the past have now changed their minds.

If this King Yun becomes an official, no one will have a good life!

Although most of the courtiers were already on the opposite side of Zhao Kai, as long as Zhao Kai lived next door to the palace with two or three thousand soldiers, no one dared to have any bad thoughts.

Now it is the Song Dynasty in the last years of Xuanhe, and in addition to the officials and ministers in Kaifeng Mansion, there are tens of thousands of slippery forbidden troops who can't get up. If you really want to close the city gate and engage in infighting, maybe you will let the crazy Zhao Kai win another game.

By that time, Zhao Kai wouldn't be able to be an official.

And Zhao Ji, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, didn't seem to be dissatisfied with this son who forced himself to continue to be the emperor, not only did he not issue any secret edicts, but he also asked Neizang to give Zhao Kai an extra 300,000 "begging for mercy".

Look at this meaning, the official family still belongs to King Yun. If King Yun can beg for mercy and succeed, the prince will definitely be him.

But this King Yun is too unruly!

When the important ministers in the Chongzheng Hall were considering whether to test Zhao Kai's book, someone suddenly stepped out of the train, walked to the center of the main hall, and saluted the official Zhao Ji. Everyone looked at that person, and they were stunned for a moment, that person was actually Zhao Shu, the fifth son of the official Zhao Ji.

Because Zhao Ji's second and fourth sons died early, Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai were followed by Zhao Shu. Now Zhao Huan is pretending to be sick at home, and Zhao Kai has left Kaifeng Fucheng, so Zhao Shu has become the temporary eldest brother of Zhao Ji's princes and emperors. So if something happened to his brothers and sisters' family, he had to report it to Zhao Ji.

"Father, the sons and daughters received a report this morning from Yi Shan of King Xin's Mansion and the ministers of King Xin's Mansion, saying that the twelfth brother and the tenth sister who went to play in King Xin's Mansion yesterday evening left the palace together after receiving a letter from King Yun, and they have not returned this morning......

As soon as this news came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned...... Why did Zhao Kai kidnap his younger siblings? It's just a matter of kidnapping a younger brother, Zhao Zhi and Zhao Kai are compatriots of the same mother, maybe they are still accomplices in the Donghuamen Incident, and it is normal to leave Tokyo together. But why did Zhao Kai kidnap the teenage emperor too? Could it be that this little girl is also an accomplice?

"What, what?" Zhao Ji was stunned when he heard this, "Fifth brother, what did you say?" ”

"Father, father," Zhao Shu couldn't cry or laugh, "Erchen said that the third brother probably took the twelfth brother and the tenth sister away." ”

"But why did he take the tenth sister away? The tenth sister is a woman! Zhao Ji was also inexplicably surprised - now it's the Song Dynasty! The name of the girl's family is still very important, even if the emperor's daughter is bad, she will be sad to get married!

"This ......" Zhao Shu's brows tightened, "Erchen, Erchen guesses that the third brother may be ......"

"What is Xu?" Zhao Ji was a little annoyed when he saw this son spitting, "Say it quickly!" ”

Seeing that he was angry, Zhao Shu gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and said to Zhao Ji the answer he had made up in his brain: "Erchen guesses that the third brother Xu wants to use the tenth sister to make peace with the gold thief!" ”

"And pro?" Zhao Ji slapped his thigh and almost applauded Zhao Kai - such a good way, why didn't he think of it? It's another payment, it's land cutting, and it's a kiss...... Just send the emperor of the Jin people to call himself the emperor of his father and call himself the emperor of his son!

When Zhao Ji was admiring his son Zhao Kai's clever method of begging for mercy in his heart, someone in the court was already blowing up.

"Your Majesty, Minister Li Gang thinks that the emperor must not be used to make peace! How noble is the emperor, how cruel is the barbarian, how can the emperor serve the king of the golden people? Moreover, the garrison of Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo is becoming more and more perfect, and the soldiers defending the city are high-spirited, so that the edict of King Qin, the hero of the Quartet, has also been issued...... At this time, if you pay and kiss, it will definitely chill the hearts of heroes in the world! ”

Zhao Ji didn't need to look at it to know that the minister who opposed the payment and pro-government must be Li Gang, the pro-government envoy.

Zhao Ji also ignored the most resolute main battle faction in Kaifeng Prefecture, and set his sights on Dazai Li Bangyan and Shaozai Bai Shizhong.

"Your Majesty, the minister Li Bangyan also feels that he should not be close to Jinhe...... Even if you want to get married, it shouldn't be up to His Royal Highness King Yun to make the decision without permission! Please ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to King Yun and ask him to return the emperor immediately! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister Bai Shizhong seconded the proposal!"

Zhao Ji set his eyes on Cai You, the leader of the Privy Council, and Cai You made a bitter face, "Your Majesty, the minister Cai You also thinks that what King Yun has done is a bit excessive, and the court should not blindly connive at it, otherwise it will be a big deal." ”

Li Gang, Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong, and Cai You, the four governors of the two prefectures, almost unanimously opposed Zhao Kai's "harmony" policy, which actually represented that the wind direction of the center of the Great Song Dynasty had fundamentally changed after Zhao Kai left Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhao Kai's abduction of Emperor Roufu and the suspected harmony only gave the courtiers an excuse to oppose Zhao Kai...... And using this as an excuse for the imperial court to issue an edict to reprimand Zhao Kai and order him to return the emperor is just a breakthrough.

Of course, Zhao Ji understood what the deacons meant, and he was also a little tempted...... Shouldn't you use this excuse to hit Zhao Kai, a somewhat crazy son?

Just when Zhao Ji was repeatedly thinking about the trade-offs, Tong Guan suddenly walked in from outside the Chongzheng Hall in a hurry, and his brows were tightly locked, and his expression was complicated.

Zhao Ji saw Tong Guan like this, he became nervous again, and without waiting for Tong Guan to salute, he first asked: "Tong Guan, what happened?" Did the gold thief arrive on the north bank of the Yellow River? ”

"Guanjia," Tong Guan bowed, and then said, "It's not the golden thief who has arrived on the north bank of the Yellow River, but the ...... of King Yun."

"What's wrong with King Yun?" Zhao Ji panicked.

Tong Guan said: "Official, the minister has just received the report, just after noon today, King Yun's army is camped in Chenqiaoyi!" ”
