Hearing Zhao Ji's words, the eyes of all the ministers in the palace turned to Zhao Gou, the king of Kang in front.

Everyone already knew it. His Royal Highness King Kang is already a candidate for the East Palace of the official family. Last time, Zhao Gou's army was defeated in Yangzhou and fled from the city, but Zhao Ji did not pursue it, and he could already see the clues.

Although the Jin people are sharp and unstoppable, Zhao Gou, as the commander of the city, is inevitably responsible. Zhao Ji did not punish him, and Zhao Gou's position as the crown prince was already obvious.

Zhao Gou had already made up his mind, he pretended to ponder for a moment, and stepped forward to say: "Your Majesty, now that the Jin people are raging and thieves are rampant, it is difficult to transport Cao Yun to the north. Rather than spending an unknown amount of money, transport grain to the north and operate the erosive land of Henan and Shandong. It is better to promise the Jin people for the time being, fight hard and try the courage, wait for the Jin people to be weak, and then go north to recover. ”

Li Gang's chest was like a boulder slammed, and he looked at King Kang Zhao Gou in front of him incredulously.

This traitor can be sold so high-soundingly, the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty is really blue, and there are successors.

You must know that south of the Huai River, half of the Huai salt, the state taxes more than 20%, in order to drive the tiger and the wolf, to deal with Wang Song, even the origin of the Huai salt can be ceded to the Jin people.

Without these two percent of the salt profits, the imperial court will definitely give heavy weight to the people, and the people will be miserable, and the world will definitely be in chaos, and it will be in great danger.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court's move south to Lin'an Mansion is just a policy for Taoguang's rights and interests. The ministers were willing to stay in Jiangning Mansion, appease the people, strengthen their troops, and continue to train the new army. Once the time is ripe, the minister is willing to be the vanguard, lead the troops to the north, fight a bloody battle with the Jin people, and restore the country of our Song Dynasty. ”

After Zhao Gou finished speaking, he stepped aside, neither humble nor arrogant, and his bearing was graceful, which caused the ministers in the hall to echo for a while.

"His Royal Highness King Kang is eloquent and strategic, and what he said is extremely true!"

Wang Boyan praised on the side: "Wang Song, this person, has only suffered a little grievance, he actually disrespects the orders of the imperial court, is bold and reckless, and is weak in the feudal town. It is necessary to know that the monarch and the minister are father and son, the king calls the minister to die, and the minister has to die. Wang Song is like this, he still doesn't want to repent, don't he know that thunder, rain and dew are all emperor's grace. Wang Song has no monarch and no court, he is really bold, and he deserves death!"

Because of the defeat of Yangzhou, Wang Boyan has been dismissed from the Privy Council and demoted to the head of the military department. Zhao Ji's move is really to use Wang Boyan as a scapegoat.

Don't you know that Wang Boyan is just an auxiliary minister, and Zhao Gou is the main general. On the face of Wang Boyan, he bears the responsibility of Zhao Gou, but in fact, his status is still the same in the hearts of Zhao Ji's father and son.

The ministers in the palace also chimed in: "Please Your Majesty punish Wang Song."

Yin Lu Yihao, the newly appointed envoy of Jiangnan East Road and Jiangning Mansion, also hurriedly said: "I beg Your Majesty to severely punish Wang Song and tell the world to determine the hearts of the people in the world."

The ministers in the palace were all the first intelligent people in the world, and they immediately understood the truth. The imperial court abandoned the north of Huaishui, which seemed to be groveling, but it was equivalent to throwing a piece of hot potato to Wang Song and the Jin people.

As long as Wang Song does not reduce the gold, the loyal and righteous army and the Jin people will definitely kill a river of blood, and they will rest until they die. The imperial court reaped the benefits of the fisherman, and took advantage of the weakness of the two to regain the lost territory in one fell swoop.

This plan can not be described as poisonous, not only eliminated Wang Song, a potential feudal town, but also weakened the national strength of the Jurchens, and the imperial court surrendered without a fight, preserving its strength, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

Many people in the hall immediately thought of the millions of Song people north of Huaishui and Henan. Once the land of Huaibei is ceded, the fate of these Song people can only be handed over to the Jurchens.

However, the thought was only a flash in their minds, and they were simply ignored. These grass people who are as despicable as ants, and a few of the scholars and doctors care about their life and death.

Seeing Zhao Ji caressing his thoughts, Wang Boyan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness King Kang said is very true. Instead of depleting national strength and keeping Henan Mansion,

To offend the Jin people, it is better to take a step back and taste the gall. The minister suggested agreeing to the Jin peace agreement and withdrawing our army to the south of Huaishui for the time being. But the cession of Shaanxi is a matter of Bashu, but it is slowly discussed. The imperial court should send a minister to pacify Shaanxi, control the western army of Zhulu, fight against the Jin, and defend the gateway of Sichuan, so as not to worry about constraints along the Yangtze River. ”

"Geng Qing, Tang Qing, what do you think of the current situation, and the ministers in the court, do you have any other ideas?"

Zhao Ji was easily restored, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, unexpectedly lost power, and Geng Nanzhong and Tang Ke lost their backers at once. Zhao Ji didn't like Zhao Huan in the first place, he loved Wu and Wu, so naturally he didn't like Geng Nanzhong, Tang Ke, and He Li.

Zhao Gou is surrounded by newcomers such as Wang Boyan, Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun. Geng, Tang, and He are already yesterday's yellow flowers in the court, and they have been snubbed in Qingqiu.

Hearing Zhao Ji's inquiry, several people looked at each other, stepped forward to bow together, and Geng Nanzhong said: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded His Royal Highness King Kang." The ministers agreed to cede the north of Huaishui, the Song and Jin countries would never stop the sword soldiers, and the people of Li would live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Tang Ke also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it is imperative to move south, the sooner the better." There is a saying that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Your Majesty is a member of the national community, and one person is determined by tens of millions of people in the world, so he should only sit in the center and command the world, and not be in danger. His Majesty may choose one of the ministers or princes to stay in the Jiangning Mansion and command the people against the Jin. ”

Even running away and cutting the land were so high-sounding, Zhao Ji's expression really soothed.

"Your Majesty, there are still more than 100,000 western troops in Shaanxi, and you can send a minister into Shaanxi to control the armies, and connect with the three states outside the river to fight against the Jin people. With Shaanxi in the way, the Jin people always have some concerns when they go south. ”

Worried that the emperor would agree to the peace agreement of the Jin people to cede Shaanxi, Li Gang hurriedly stepped forward and said.

Zhao Ji nodded, it was not that he didn't want to cede Shaanxi, but because Shaanxi was the gateway to Sichuan, and its status was extremely important.

He turned his eyes to Geng Nanzhong, Tang Ke, Li Gang, Wang Boyan and Lu Yihao, and said in a deep voice: "Several Qing families, do you have a collegiate discussion?"

Although Geng Nanzhong has been snubbed, he is still a minister of the Zhongshu Sect, and he is the prime minister, and he still has to go in the form that should go.

Geng Nanzhong bowed solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers recommended Zhang Jun, the former deputy envoy of Hebei Xuanfu and the signing of the Privy Council, to serve as the envoy of Xuanfu in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and to run Sichuan and Shaanxi, so as to reject the Jin people."

Zhang Jun's heart jumped straight up, if he could manage Sichuan and Shaanxi, Xuanfu Fang, or even defeat the Jin people, he could also enter the Zaizhi train, and his name would be immortal.

Li Gang shook his head secretly, this Zhang Jun likes to talk highly, but like himself, he is a Wenchen. When it comes to marching and fighting, I don't have a lot of experience. Let such people go to preach the party, and the situation in Shaanxi is not optimistic.

Sure enough, Zhang Jun's face was flushed, he stood up, and said in a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to Shaanxi, visit customs, reprimand traitors, collect heroes, confront the Fanren, and stop them from harassing the southeast, so as to share worries for Your Majesty and the court."

Tang Ke walked out at this time and bowed: "Your Majesty, Zhang Jun is loyal to the sun and the moon, filial piety to the gods, and is determined to destroy thieves." The minister seconded Zhang Junxuan's pacification of Shaanxi. ”

Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction, and said loudly: "The Qing family is loyal, and I have my own decision in my heart."

He glanced at the ministers with different faces below, and pretended to be sad and said: "Running Shaanxi is also for the people in the northwest not to be poisoned by the Jin people. Now that I think about it, I'm sorry for them!"

The ministers below hurriedly bowed together and said: "Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and the ministers are extremely ashamed!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, you said that I ceded Huainan, Henan and other places, how should the people of the world evaluate me? It must be the titles of faint gentleman and coward. ”

Zhao Ji laughed self-deprecatingly

When he got up, a trace of helplessness flashed between his expressions, and then he was calm again.

The Zhao and Song courts, in the hands of Zhao Ji, had already lost the hearts of the people and were filthy. It's just that for this official family of the Great Song Dynasty, including many ministers in the court, how could the people have been taken to heart by them.

The ministers bowed again and said, "The ministers are incompetent, please punish Your Majesty."

Zhao Ji waved his hand lightly, making the courtiers stand up, extremely satisfied.

Zhang Jun retreated to the court, his face was cloudy, and his heart was especially up.

Qin Hui smiled secretly in his heart. Zhao Ji said that outside of his words, he had already acquiesced to Zhang Junxuan's Fuchuan Shaanxi. This Zhang Junyou was uneasy and couldn't hold his breath, and he didn't know if he could make a difference when he arrived in Shaanxi.

The envy of the ministers next to him was fully revealed, and everyone had heard the taste of Kenxu from the emperor's voice.

Maybe it won't be long before this Zhang Jun will become the upstart of the imperial court.

Li Gang was disappointed in his heart, and stepped forward to bow and said: "Your Majesty, Jianghuai and Jinghu thieves are rampant, and the place is rotten. The ministers recommended His Royal Highness King Kang to serve as the guard of Jiangning, organize and train the new army, and manage Jianghuai and Jinghu in order to seek recovery in the north. ”

The imperial court moved south to Hangzhou, and if it could leave a backbone of the ministers to run Jiangnan East Road, at least half of the Jiangnan could be saved, and even the two Huai could be looked south. If you blindly flee south, I don't know if this half of the country can be saved.

As for Beigu, I'm afraid it's even more far away.

Zhao Ji thought for a moment and said loudly: "According to what Zhongqing said, Zhang Jun is the envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu; Lu Yihao was the envoy of Jiangnan East Road and Jiangning was left behind, and Zhai Liang was the commander of Jiangning, organizing and training a new army to fight against the Jin. ”

"Ren Zhang Jun is the envoy of the Lianghuai system, and Li Gang is the envoy of the Jinghu South Road, passing through the Lianghuai and Jinghu areas. After Zong Ze, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong and others went south, the soldiers returned to the center. ”

Qin Hui and the others were secretly happy in their hearts. The emperor did not leave King Kang as a stayer, but let Lu Yihao concurrently serve as a guard, first, for fear that the clan would become bigger, and secondly, he would definitely sit in Lin'an Mansion to ensure the safety of the crown prince.

The Jin people ravaged the south of the Yangtze River, and everywhere the iron cavalry went, they were all broken, and they slaughtered the people and burned the city at every turn. If they are served by the golden people, won't they lose their glory and lose their heads.

Sure enough, Zhao Ji continued: "King Kang still followed me south, and after passing through Lin'an Mansion, Lu Qing's family will have more work. The Zhuqing family is all important ministers of the country, and at this time of national disaster, they must do their best, and after death, they will live up to the trust of the court!"

These Zhu Zi ministers in the hall bowed together and said, "Your Majesty's Holy Judgment!"

Zhai Liang walked out of the hall, his brows furrowed, and his heart was heavy.

The court is weak, and he wants to cut the land and sue for peace, what should those innocent people, including the people of his hometown of Henan, his family, and his villagers?

drove the tiger and devoured the wolf, and the imperial court's move was afraid that Wang Song would be put on the fire. Fighting against the Jin people is to suffer from the enemy on the back and make it difficult; If you don't fight against the Jin people, then the people's hearts will be lost, how can the loyal and righteous army stay in the land of two rivers?

For the first time, Zhai Liang was worried about the situation of this fellow villager.

Zhang Jun walked out of the main hall and took a long breath.

From today onwards, he can finally show his strength and ambitions.

"Zhang Xianggong, congratulations."

Qin Hui came up and said in a low voice: "Zhang Xianggong, when you arrive in Shaanxi, you have to work hard, don't be bewitched by Wang Song." You must know that there is a clear distinction between loyalty and treachery, and it is not allowed to let people have a dispute between tongues. ”

Zhang Jun nodded and said in a deep voice: "Thank you Xianggong Qin, the lower officials have their own proportions."

More than 100,000 Western troops in Shaanxi, strong soldiers and strong horses, if they don't make some achievements and make meritorious contributions, what face will they have to return to Jiangnan and face the Son of Heaven?
