Chapter 045: Moving South

After a lapse of four years, Zhao Ji, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, finally returned to Dabao, and the power was in his hands, and the world, at least south of the Yellow River, was in his hands.

Although the situation facing us now is not as cruel as in the first year of Jingkang, it is also surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the situation is grim.

The Jin people's two-way army drove straight in, avoiding Taiyuan, Daimyofu, Zhongshanfu, Zhaozhou and other military towns, and went straight to Tokyo City, menacing, wanting to follow the story of the first year of Jingkang.

Zhao Ji took the fold and turned his eyes to the group of ministers below, his face was pale, and he could seep water.

When the Jin army was on the verge of the Yellow River, the imperial court got these reports, and the military spy was so slack!

The Jin people are about to come to the city, and these ministers are collectively silent in the court, I really don't know what is the use of asking for these walking corpses?

Useless is a scholar. These people form parties for personal gain, accept bribes, and use them for personal purposes, all of them are unmatched, but when it comes to business, they have turned into mud bodhisattvas.

He privately mentioned the idea of moving south, but within half a day, the city was already full of storms, and the people in the city fled south one after another, and the people were panicked. While he was annoyed, he looked back and thought about it, which also saved him the triviality of mobilizing when he moved south.

It was these rumors, the pen in the newspaper, that strengthened the idea of moving the capital of another country to the south.

The DPRK and China are full of such "loyal and patriotic" people, how can he stay at ease? The hearts of the people in the north are lost, once the Jurchens besiege the city, how can there be a righteous teacher of the king of Qin?

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to Hebei and work with General Zong Lao to fight against the Jin people and share the worries of the court. I beg your Majesty's permission. ”

Li Gang stood up hard. He knew in his heart that he did not have a single soldier, and when he left the capital, it was unknown whether he could get rid of the encirclement of the Jin people.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to Taiyuan Mansion in Hedong to urge the army to fight against the Jin people, please ask Your Majesty for permission."

Yuwen Xuzhong also stood up and volunteered, willing to go to Hedong to deal with the Jin people. He had already been ordered to go to Shaanxi, but who knew that the old emperor ascended the throne, and the trip was finally delayed.

Zhao Ji's face softened, but there were still loyal and heroic ministers, which made his heart feel better.

It's just that he already has a plan in his heart. When Jin Bing went south and fled in embarrassment, he didn't want Zhao Lang to come back.

"The two Qing families are loyal, but the Jin people are powerful, and they are from all over the country, so it may not be easy to deal with."

Zhao Ji frowned, and hesitated in his words.

"Not easy to deal with!"

Li Gang was shocked, the words of the king of a country flickered, and moving the capital to avoid his edge was probably a certainty.

Zhao Ji's thoughts, Qin Hui is heart comprehension, he immediately walked out.

"Your Majesty, the Jin soldiers are coming to the city, it is the story of attacking the poor and chasing the Liao lord and destroying it, and it is hereby reused for our dynasty. Your Majesty might as well move the capital south to avoid its front. Leave a humerus minister, as the guard of Tokyo, and give full authority to command the towns of the two rivers, waiting for the opportunity to recover. ”

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, pretending to think for a moment, and then said with a sad face: "What Qin Qing's family said is true." The Jin people were raging, the canal was blocked, and if you wanted to go south, you had to pass through the defense line of the Jin people, and you needed to be heavily guarded. ”

Yuwen was shocked, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Taiyuan Mansion, Daimyo's Mansion, Zhongshan Mansion, the important town of the country, and the northern barrier are still in the hands of our army. If the imperial court moves south, it is equivalent to handing over these important towns to others. Your Majesty must not do this! ”

Li Gang's heart was hot, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the soldiers in front are still in a bloody battle, but the imperial court is in the rear to discuss the relocation of the capital. If the imperial court does this, where is the face of the imperial court, and how can it appease the military and civilians in the world?"

Zhao Ji "snapped" and threw the music fold in his hand on the royal table, his eyes were cold, making people shudder.

A courtier, openly accusing the current son above the main hall, where is the courtesy of the monarch and the minister?

Where is the face of the court, doesn't it mean that he has no face?

As soon as he took office, the first decree he wanted to discuss was openly questioned, where is the etiquette, where is the imperial power, and where is the royal authority?

If the scholar is really eloquent and strategic, and can attack the Jinren, why should he face the threat of the Jinren, not thinking about tea and dinner, and restlessly sleeping.

"Li Xianggong, Yuwen Xianggong, you two are presumptuous!"

Qin Hui walked out again, his face full of anger and righteousness.

"This world is the world of the Zhao and Song royal families, and His Majesty's plan to move south is because of the Jin people's rampant and soldiers coming to the city, so they have to do it as a last resort. As courtiers, you two attack the Son of Heaven and criticize the court's policies, do you still have a monarch in your eyes?"

Li Gang and Yu Wenxu's faces turned red, their beards trembled, and their hearts were extremely angry.

The two of them worked hard, all for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, and even let these traitorous ministers be accused in the palace and confuse the public.

Li Gang retorted in a trembling voice: "Qin Zhongcheng, it is a matter of the safety of the imperial court, the people of the world, the two of us are just expressing our hearts and discerning the severity of the matter, how can we attack the Son of Heaven?" What is your intention in reversing black and white so much?"

Qin Hui smiled, his face was calm, his body was jade, and his demeanor was graceful.

"The army of golden people, tigers and wolves, the iron cavalry dominates the world, even Wang Song is defeated and killed. Now that the Jin people's two-way army is going south, approaching the Beijing Division, His Majesty is sticking to the city of Tokyo, which is not good for the imperial court and the people of the world. The two of you let Your Majesty stay in Bianjing City, you are putting Your Majesty in danger, and your heart can be punished!"

Li Gang and Yu Wenxuan were speechless for a while. The ministers of the DPRK and China nodded their heads one after another, and they all agreed with Qin Hui's suggestion.

Zhao Ji's face softened slightly, and his eyes turned to Geng Nanzhong, who was silent with his eyelids lowered and silent.

"Old Minister Geng, what do you mean by the proposal to move south?"

Geng Nanzhong's mind flashed, and his face was unwavering.

"Your Majesty, on that day, the city of Tokyo was besieged, and my Great Song Dynasty almost wanted to lose the country, but fortunately, Wang Song fell from the sky and kept a glimmer of life."

Geng Nanzhong said slowly, his tone was calm, and he spoke eloquently, like a loyal old minister with a bitter heart.

"Now the Jin army is heading south, approaching Bianjing City, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, which is more prosperous than the first year of Jingkang. The Jin people came and went like the wind, and the siege of Tokyo was just an overnight moment. Last time, Wang Song came to the rescue, this time ......"

Geng Nanzhong didn't say anything, but the ministers in the palace knew it.

The last time the Jin soldiers besieged the city, Wang Song annexed Wang Xiang's troops under the pretense of a holy decree, and shed blood under the city of Tokyo, which made the capital safe.

Now that the Jin people are making a comeback, they are unstoppable, they have crossed the south bank of the Yellow River, poisoned the two roads of Jingdong, if they besiege the capital again, I don't know if the Great Song Dynasty can escape.

Li Gang still didn't give up, ignoring Yuwenxu's dissuasion, he blushed and said:

"Your Majesty, if you really want to move the capital, if you move the capital to Chang'an, reject the Jin people according to the danger of the mountains and rivers, and send important ministers to stick to the city of Tokyo, and slowly recover the land of the two rivers. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, the hearts of the people in Tokyo are now fluctuating, and if the imperial court openly proposes to move south, it may exacerbate the panic of the people in the city. Your Majesty, don't move south! ”

Yuwen Xuzhong also stubbornly took the lead, ignoring Zhao Ji's anger, and came out to say.

Zhao Ji was so angry that he trembled all over, and his face turned pale. These two have been challenging his bottom line, and it has already made him angry.

Could it be that these two people also have a different heart for themselves, as the newspaper "Warning Bell" said?

"Relying on his selfish wisdom, his intentions are biased, he reprimands the righteous people, he is close to treachery, he is discouraged by playthings, he is indulgent and defeated, he can do everything, but he can't be a gentleman."

What a big hat!

"Li Gang, Yu Wenxuzhong, you are doing everything possible to prevent the capital from moving south, and let me stay in this dangerous Tokyo City, do you want me and Da Song to be buried together?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has no such intention!"

"Your Majesty, you must not move south!"

Li Gang and Yu Wenxuan knelt down, kowtowed frequently, their foreheads were bruised and swollen, and even the black yarn was crooked to the side.

"Come on, drive these two out of the main hall!"

With a "snap", Zhao Ji slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground.

"Your Majesty, don't move south, Your Majesty think twice!"

"Your Majesty, the ambition of the golden man and the wolf son is difficult to fill, so you must not move south!"

Li Gang and Yu Wenxuzhong were dragged out by the forbidden army, and the two of them still shouted loudly, and when the aftermath came, the ministers in the palace shook their heads and talked about it, saying that these two people were stubborn and stupid.

Seeing that Zhao Ji was still pale and uncertain, Zhao Gou on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, Li Gang and Yuwen Xuzhong are also patriotic, but they don't know the military situation, they don't know the situation, and they are helpless to move the capital south. Your Majesty, for the sake of his loyalty, forgive them both. ”

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, these lords and factions in the court are useless, and he still needs Li Gang and them to balance these people.

"I'm just anxious and worried about state affairs, and I won't do anything to the two of them. Ladies and gentlemen, moving the capital to the south is also an expedient measure. Wait until the imperial court recovers, vigorously fights the troops, and then tries to recover, and the secretaries ......"

Before Zhao Ji's words fell, the chamberlain had already come in in a panic with a military report, and his face looked panicked, as if something big had happened.

"Your Majesty, Jinan Mansion and Yingtianfu have expedited official documents, and the army of Jinren East Road is eroding Jingdong Road and Jingdong West Road, and it is only a hundred miles away from the capital, please take a look!"

Zhao Ji's face was pale, he took the official document in the hand of the waiter, and opened it tremblingly.

"Cao Xun, you read it to all the courtiers."

Zhao Ji looked in a trance, his eyes were blank, like a terminally ill old man, and his whole person shrank.

Cao Xun read it aloud, his voice was loud, and it spread throughout the hall, and after reading it, he still lingered from the aftersound.

"The 30,000 forbidden troops of Baimajin and Puyang were defeated in one blow, and the Jin people went south, and they ...... in an instant"

Zhao Ji was extremely angry in his heart, and laughed sharply.

"The imperial court raises soldiers, and the silver money is not more than 10 million, even 30,000 pigs, and they have to be killed for a few hours. The soldiers and soldiers are sloppy, a plate of scattered sand, the generals are greedy and incompetent, greedy for life and afraid of death, all of them are waste, useless things! Is it true that you are going to kill my Great Song!"

Zhao Ji's words lingered in the main hall, the ears of the ministers were buzzing, everyone was stunned, and some people's bodies trembled, and sweat broke out on their foreheads.

If the story of the first year of Jingkang is repeated, I don't know what kind of misfortune I and others will suffer, then the mellow beauty, poetry and lyrics, flowers before the moon, those gold and silver treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings......

Tang Ke took a step forward and bowed: "Your Majesty is thoughtful and wise. The Jin people are menacing, and the heart of the Great Song Dynasty will not die, so I ask Your Majesty for permission to move the capital to the south, and Ke Ri will go. ”

Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, also stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, the Jin army is pressing, Your Majesty's Ninety-Five Honor, as the safety of the imperial court, should be in the rear, command the center, and never be in danger." Please Your Majesty immediately issue an edict to move the capital to the south to avoid the Jin army. ”

Zhao Gou stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Your Majesty is burdened with social power, how can he confront the Jin people head-on. Your Majesty can send a general to stay in Tokyo and deal with the thieves, Your Majesty should go south as soon as possible to reassure the hearts of the people!"

Zhao Ji nodded lightly, at this critical juncture, his son is still reliable.

Zhao Ji was about to speak, but another chamberlain hurriedly ran in, and when he saw the official document in his hand, Zhao Ji's heart couldn't help but sink.

Could it be that this is another emergency military report?

"Your Majesty, the Jin people have sent a messenger to ask for peace, and this is their book. Your Majesty, please take a look. ”

Zhao Ji dragged it over, opened it and looked at it, but his expression was a little lighter.

Jin Ren's peace agreement came at the right time, and he could push the boat down the river.

"Do you think I'm willing to move south? You all see, this is the book of the golden people, and I have already received the secret report, but I have no choice but to do it. ”

The ministers in the palace were all frightened. It turned out that the emperor had already obtained the intention of the Jin Renhui, and today it was just a formality.
