When Zhao Yu entrusted his plan to harm others and benefit himself, he was worried that he would be strictly opposed, but he didn't expect the old man to think it was feasible. In this way www.biquge.info not only can the strength of the two evil neighbors be weakened by the hands of the Mongols, but also the pressure on Qiongzhou can be relieved, and time can be bought for further accumulation of strength. The master and apprentice hit it off, and Zhao Yu was active in thinking, had a lot of ideas, and was good at planning. Ying Jie is strict and calculating, good at overall planning and execution, and has been in contact with Liu Mengyan and Wang Jiweng to understand their personalities. The big and small foxes calculated the little white rabbit who was still dreaming.

The purpose of the two was to convey to Kublai Khan the message that the Great Song Dynasty had formed an alliance with Champa and Annam, and was preparing to resist the Yuan court together. In order to achieve the illusion that their prestige is being challenged, they will change their tactics and send troops to the two countries in anger. Zhao Yu and Ying Jieyan knew that it would not be easy to achieve this goal, but as long as Kublai Khan believed it and insisted on attacking Qiongzhou first, he must also deploy troops in the direction of Guangxi and Yunnan to prevent the two countries from taking the opportunity to surprise attack and respond to Qiongzhou, which could also achieve the original intention of reducing the pressure on their own side.

Therefore, the key to the success of the plan is how to convince Liu Mengyan and Wang Jiweng that the three kingdoms have formed an alliance. And with Ying Jieyan's understanding of the two, one of them is cunning and cunning, and he will see the wind and rudder the most; The other is good at observing words and feelings, and has a deep understanding of the art of power and scheming. Of course, these people still have a common problem, that is, they are timid and suspicious. It's not easy for them to get into the trap easily, and they won't believe it when they get things easily, so they can only make some twists and turns and let them guess and play.

So under the command of Zhao Hao, a scam came to kick off, and the only people who knew the inside story were a few people in the center and those involved in the operation, and they also had to act as actors, the Secretariat was responsible for the specific implementation of the action, and Zhao Yu mastered the progress and scale of the action. Because of the importance of this matter, where could he still take a vacation with peace of mind, and quietly returned to Fucheng Palace on the Warrior. But just in case, the entourage was still stranded in Boao to cover people's eyes, and even Wang De and Ni Liang did not return with them.

In order to win the time for the arrangement, and in order to mobilize their emotions for the two of them to get off the horse, they not only locked up the two of them in the Lingao Water Camp for a few days, but also abused them along the way, giving them the impression that the dynasty was not to be seen as traitors, making them suspicious and uneasy. After arriving in Fucheng, they were placed under house arrest in the post house, which made the two more anxious, mobilized their curiosity to peek into everything, and laid the foundation for their next move.

The reason why the post house is used as the main performance venue is that the scope here is small and easy to control; The two inns can be said to be Zhao Yu's private place. As early as the beginning of Qiong, in order to open up the post road, he personally funded the construction of post houses and stations along the way, and obtained the exclusive right to operate. Therefore, all the post houses in Qiongzhou belong to their own industries, and it is logical for the Affairs Bureau to infiltrate them in order to obtain information. As the Qiongtai Post House, which is the head post of Qiongzhou, it is a spy of the bureau from top to bottom.

Since Zhao Yu did not establish official ties with Champa and Annan except for economic and trade exchanges, it was impossible for any princes, highnesses and the like to cooperate with his actions. This is not difficult for him, it is very easy to find a few people in Qiongzhou who can speak Champa dialect, and this is still for the sake of insurance, he believes that no matter how knowledgeable Liu Mengyan and Wang Jiweng are, they will not be interested in learning the language of this domain, and they can't hear what is said at all.

As for what the prince of Champa and His Royal Highness Annan look like, it is estimated that few people know it, and they can be fooled as long as they dress up. However, Zhao Yu knew that when the two enemies of Champa and Annan were jointly facing the military threat of Meng Yuan, they had temporarily turned enemies into friends, showing some kind of intention to form an alliance against the Yuan, which only added themselves, pushed them, and exposed them in advance. He believed that if Kublai Khan decided to invade, the two countries would be able to 'unite' together if there was no way back.

On the issue of choosing who will act as the 'game-breaker', Zhao Hao still has a lot of headaches. First of all, this person must have a certain status in the DPRK, but he cannot be the prime minister, so that the negotiations can appear reciprocal; Secondly, this person should be closer to himself and be able to speak. and need to be familiar with Liu Mengyan and Wang Jiweng, he can't be said to be a confidant, but he can get by on weekdays; Moreover, this person must be able to calm down and not blow up when he gets on fire. And he does things fairly, giving people the feeling of hiding needles in the cotton.

These three conditions are easy to find if they meet one or two, but not many meet all of them. The master and apprentice were selected among the executions, and Liu Huang was the most suitable. He was an old minister of the Lizong Dynasty, and he had been a minister in the same hall with those two people for many years, and the level was about the same at that time, and the traitors were not all intolerable, and they also needed some good people to associate with as a foil; In addition, Liu Huang is famous for his integrity and honesty in the court, but he is not as fierce as some people show, otherwise Chen Yizhong would not regard him as a confidant.

And Wang Jiweng has always boasted that he was the Jiang Gan of the Three Kingdoms, who had the courage to cross the river and go deep into the enemy camp, and had the ability to win in danger. Then this time Zhao Yu arranged such a scene for him, of course he is Zhuge Liang, and Liu Huang is Zhou Yu. Now that everything has unfolded according to the plan, today has entered the most critical part, if Liu Huang can quietly say everything that should be said, it will be half the success......

At present, Zhao Yu is also facing another thorny problem, that is, how to deal with the edict of persuasion from Empress Dowager Xie and the imperial brother. Kublai Khan's move is actually quite vicious, the emperor's brother Zhao Xian is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and according to the rules of succession, people are also orthodox, even if he is demoted and eliminated, he is still the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. And his eldest brother Zhao Yu is also qualified to take the throne according to the rules of succession, but after all, he was elected by the ministers while the former emperor was still there, strictly speaking, there is still a shortage.

And the Empress Dowager Xie Daoqing is not simple, her ancestor is Prime Minister Xie Shenfu, she entered the palace at the age of seventeen and was named the lady of Tongyi County, and at the age of nineteen was made the queen by Li Zong. Duzong Zhao Yu ascended the throne and was respected as the queen mother, and Zhao Xian ascended the throne in the first year of Deyou and was honored as the queen mother. When Gongzong was five years old, he was repeatedly invited by the ministers to listen to the government with Gongzong. He is open-minded and takes the overall situation into account, and the harem has been harmonious and stable for fifty years, and has a certain political talent.

In the first year of Kaiqing, Kublai Khan crossed the river for the first time to attack Ezhou, Li Zong was ready to move the capital to the south and flee, and the queen participated in the government for the first time.

Li Zong died, and Du Zong succeeded to the throne, but this child was not born to be an emperor. His mother is a concubine in the palace, because of her humble background, she was always bullied by Mrs. Zhengfang, and was forced to take fetal medicine immediately after finding out that she was pregnant. Because he was the only boy in the emperor's close relatives, he was protected by the whole house, but he was born with medicinal poison, he was born weak, his hands and feet were weak, he could only walk very late, he could only speak at the age of seven, and his intelligence was lower than normal.

Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty provided him with a good teacher and carefully taught, but he still could not enlighten him, and often made the emperor faint. Wu Qian, the prime minister of Zuo, did not agree to let this mentally handicapped child be the heir of the Great Song Dynasty, and asked to choose another son of the clan, but Song Lizong was selected by Shi Miyuan from the people, and it had little to do with the Song clan, so of course he was unwilling. Jia Rudao took the opportunity to slander and demoted Wu Qian to other places, and others didn't dare to say more.

After Duzong ascended the throne, because his IQ was lower than the level of normal people, he was weak and incompetent, and his immorality was worse than that of Lizong, and he sat in the harem all day long, drinking and having fun with his concubines. In terms of government affairs, he completely relied on Jia Yidao and made a mess of the country, so that in the tenth year of Xianchun, Kublai Khan invaded for the second time, and the officials in the capital were afraid of death, Xie Daoqing stepped forward and ordered the court to proclaim to the empress dowager: Those who stick to their posts will be recorded in Shangshu Province; Those who have committed treason and fled shall be ascertained and reported by the imperial history. and called on the whole country to raise troops to serve the king, which was barely able to stabilize the imperial court.

After Duzong's death, he supported Zhao Xian to succeed him, and then listened to the government and disposed of Jia Rudao. But the Great Song Dynasty was already terminally ill and incurable. After the Yuan army forced to land in the city, the Empress Dowager Xie swore not to take refuge, calmly arranged the heirs of the Song family, and promoted Wen Tianxiang to the right prime minister to go out of the city to negotiate, the negotiations were not written Tianxiang was detained, the Yuan army entered Lin'an City, and the Empress Dowager Xie and others were taken captive to Dadu.

Thinking about the decades at the end of the Song Dynasty, her husband Song Lizong rarely paid attention to political affairs in the early days, and after ascending the throne, he handed over all state affairs to Shi Miyuan, and he didn't care about government affairs at all; The step-son is a half-stupid dementia; When the grandson succeeded to the throne, he was powerless. It can be said that Da Song has been able to survive all these years, all thanks to Xie Daoqing's maneuvering, and she has broken her heart in her life. And the preservation of this physical body to which he is attached is also due to his gift.

It is precisely because of this that Xie Daoqing has incomparable prestige in the court, and after Lin'an was surrendered, he was forced to issue an edict of surrender under pressure, and the states and counties that were still resisting in the world surrendered one after another, and there were very few who did not comply. In Zhao Hao's view, some of them are donkeys, but it can also be seen how influential they are. At present, there are still many officials in the DPRK and China who have received favors from him, and once the edict is announced, it will cause waves if it is not done well.

"Your Majesty, now there are rumors about the Empress Dowager's edict of persuasion, if you don't make a decision early, I am afraid it will spread!" Zhao Yu knew that he needed to be cautious in how to operate this matter, so he summoned his three masters to the palace to discuss secretly. Deng Guangjian said first after listening.

"What does Deng Qing think should be done?" Zhao Yu nodded and asked.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that they should be dismissed sternly, it is unacceptable, and the idea of the enemy chief has been decided, and the ministers are not allowed to talk about it!" Deng Guangjian said.

"Your Majesty, I think we need to be cautious. The Empress Dowager and Emperor Deyou moved north, and the situation was already extremely difficult, and if we sternly refused, the enemy chieftains would be angry with them. Jiang Xuan listened and immediately objected.

"Zong Bao's words, Yu dare not agree." Deng Guangjian immediately retorted after hearing this, "At present, there are rumors that if the enemy army attacks Qiong on a large scale, we can hold it for a while, but it is difficult to ensure that we do not lose. If the reply is ambiguous, it will inevitably make people's hearts discouraged, and how can we fight the enemy with all our might. Don't mistake the cause of restoring the country because of your own selfishness! ”

"Zhongfu, I established the country with benevolence and filial piety, and it is really unfilial piety for the emperor and queen to be in danger, so won't this trap Your Majesty in unkindness and filial piety!" Jiang Xuan knew that Empress Dowager Xie had the grace to recreate his family, and his own words were also selfish, but what he said was also the truth.

"Your Majesty, after the fall of Lin'an City, the Empress Dowager ordered all parts of the country to stop resisting, and Xie Dieshan received the edict sent by the capital to persuade him to surrender. Deng Guangjian stood up excitedly and said, "This word is also useless at the moment, at this moment, the dynasty is trying its best to restore my dynasty, and what is done is the great righteousness, since the Tao is different, why conspire with each other!" ”

"This ...... Zhongfu's words are reasonable, but I think we need to be cautious. Jiang Xuan still could distinguish between righteousness and subsection, and said with a red face.

"What do you think, sir?" Zhao Yu listened to it without saying anything, and turned to Ying Jie and said strictly.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should make a decision to prevent the failure of Gaozong's Northern Expedition from repeating that year!" Ying Jieyan thought for a while.

"Hmm!" Zhao Hao frowned and snorted. He also thought about this layer, when Zhao Gou recalled the Northern Expedition army to negotiate peace with Jin in the name of filial piety, and killed Yue Fei, who was the main advocate of the Northern Expedition, so that he lost the last chance to cross the river.

On the surface, what Zhao Gou did can be regarded as the past, but Zhao Yu knows that what he did is despised by future generations, and tries to dig out the truth, and he feels that the analysis is still relatively reliable. At that time, the slogan of the Northern Expedition was to welcome back the second emperor, and if it was really victorious, then there was a problem, and there were three emperors in the country at the same time. And Zhao Gou ascended the throne in the name of the prison state, whether it was in accordance with the rules of succession or for the sake of a 'filial piety', he had to give way and return to his father and brother.

How attractive the emperor's throne is, there are countless people who have lost their heads for this. Not to mention others, even Zhao Yu is reluctant to let him out, although he is now trapped in this corner of the place, and there is still a danger of being destroyed at any time, he is still reluctant. The feeling that once you have power in your hands, you can command the world, you can take people's lives with a single word, and you can destroy the city and the country.

Zhao Yu believes that Zhao Gou had the same thoughts as himself, I wasted a long time to get you back, not only to give up the throne, but also very likely to be slaughtered by you. After all, everyone wants to sit on the throne safely, and the person who pokes a former emperor by his side and has the ability to lift himself off the throne at any time always has a restless sleep by his side, so the best way is to get rid of it. Then simply give up the Northern Expedition, so as not to embarrass yourself.

At this moment, Zhao Yu knew that this was not only to remind himself, but also to let himself not repeat the mistakes of the past, so as not to act timidly in the future, but he also knew that he had to have a reason to say it, even if it was very reluctant, he could cover up his shame......
