Chapter 059: Follow the Trend

Under Zhao Hao's questioning, Dou Xing relayed the queen mother's guess. It turned out that the imperial court did not evacuate Chaozhou for a long time at this moment, not only because the Mongols temporarily stopped their march, but also because the voice of peace in the imperial court rose again, and of course, there was also a reason why the grain and grass were not in place.

The lord and faction in the imperial court were led by Chen Yizhong, who thought that the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty could not compete with the Mongols. The departments under the jurisdiction of generals Zhang Shijie, Su Liuyi, Liu Shiyong and others, including Wen Tianxiang's governor's army, were all entangled with bandits, "neither trained nor disciplined, and completely unreliable". Occasional small victories do not make up for the big picture. In addition, the generals each controlled the financial and personnel power in the army, and the imperial court was unable to control it. Song and Mongolia are still fighting and will inevitably lose the country, so it is better to ask the ministers to keep a corner of the country again to continue the national line.

As a loser, he must pay the price for proposing peace, and according to the custom, he must not only pay reparations and pay the annual coin, but also send important members of the royal family to the enemy country as hostages. Then the problem comes, the Great Song Dynasty inherited to Zhao Yu's generation that there were six princes, three of whom died young, and the remaining three or two became emperors, and only he was the prince. And the two emperors were young and did not marry, and of course had no heirs, so Zhao Yu became the best candidate for hostage. The empress dowager guessed that there was only one purpose for him to open a government at this moment, to increase his value, so as to show goodwill to the Mongols and promote the success of the peace negotiations.

Zhao Hao sighed in his heart after hearing this, the people in the palace really don't have a fuel-efficient lamp, this Empress Dowager Yang has only been involved in political affairs for half a year, and she can see things from the subtleties in the future. Chen Yi and others may not have thought that the Queen Mother had seen through their conspiracy, and he also forgot that the female beast with cubs could not be provoked, and she would not care about her own life for the sake of her own children.

Zhao Yu originally intended that he could get the favor of the queen mother if he broke away from the imperial court, and the support of the courtiers was the best to go openly. If the Queen Mother is not allowed, she can say that she can move a few bigwigs in the court to support her, or she can reluctantly make the trip. The worst plan is that everyone disagrees, then I can only sneak away, and now the situation is developing beyond my plan.

"There may be a chance in this!" Zhao Hao thought about this, whether he was sent as a hostage or left in the palace by the queen mother, he would lose the opportunity to leave the court. As a science student, he likes to plan carefully in advance, act according to the plan, and do not like to fight unprepared battles. In this way, when carrying out any activity, it is always necessary to go through complex calculations, through careful reasoning, through rigorous judgment, and finally, make a judgment that is as close to the truth as possible, and in the process of action, make new judgments and adjust one's actions at any time with the changing facts......

"Queen Mother, my son, please agree to the request of the ministers." Zhao Yu saluted again and said.

"Sixth brother, what nonsense, they want to send you into the tiger's mouth." The Queen Mother said with a roar when she heard this.

"Don't worry, please listen to the son." Zhao Yu knelt down in the tunnel, he had already thought of a speech in an instant. "Queen Mother, now the Tartars are approaching step by step, and almost all the two roads in Guangdong and Guangxi have fallen, and if you retreat, you can only return to the sea. What Chen Xiang said was good, there were no available troops in the DPRK and China, and there was no food supply, and although peace talks were a last resort, they were the best policy today. Not only can we find a foothold, but also continue the lineage of our Great Song Dynasty. How can the sons and daughters cherish their own selfishness and come to my Great Song Dynasty in danger, trap the queen mother and the imperial brother in the Jedi, and ask the queen mother to agree! ”

Zhao Yu had worked hard in the workplace for many years in his previous life, and he had long known that where there were people, there would be rivers and lakes, there would be opposing sides, and there would be contradictions and fierce struggles. And any struggle is not embroidery, it will not be gentle and frugal, and sometimes, the competition will even become bloody. At this time, how to effectively maximize their own interests through struggle, and at the same time minimize their own losses, this has become a problem that has to be paid attention to. And the struggle requires people's courage and courage, and it requires people to make the greatest efforts for their goals. Here, wisdom is more important than courage.

However, there is often a big gap between many things and our plans and premeditations and reality, which makes it a lot of effort and effort, but we cannot get the results we want. But as long as you can use your brains to think of some ways to change from passive to active, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Now the imperial court wants to negotiate peace with the Mongols, according to Zhao Yu's knowledge, it is just wishful thinking on the side of the Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan did not take ****** in his eyes at all, and his order was to completely destroy the Song Dynasty, so there was no room for peace. However, he promised to open a government office, act justifiably, and get out of the gray area. Now that they are unkind and want to take themselves hostage, they can't blame themselves for lying to them.

"Sixth brother...... I don't know, the fifth brother was captured, but the first emperor only has you and the emperor left, and the pledge of Mongolia is a matter of nine deaths, if you have three long and two short, or ...... I can only end up in a foreign land, how can I be worthy of the first emperor and the ancestors, and worthy of the hard-working Yu Xiurong. Zhao Hao pouted his ass and lay on his stomach for a long time before he heard the voice of Empress Dowager Yang's relatives.

"Queen Mother, the royal brother is wise and martial, he will be the king of the Holy Ming in the future, Chu has three households that can die in Qin, as long as he leaves a useful body to take time to lie down and taste his courage, the whole armament will definitely be able to rejuvenate our dynasty and restore my territory, and then the sons will be able to come back in style." Zhao Hao heard that the Queen Mother's tone was somewhat relaxed, and she persuaded her again. As for what the imperial brother will do in the future, he really doesn't see anything else except for being weaker than himself, thinner, stupid, and stupid, but whether he can survive next year depends on whether God is happy or not, but this must not be said at this time.

"Sixth brother, are you really willing to pledge Mongolia?" Empress Dowager Yang was stunned, this kid usually looks stupid, why did he say such righteous and awe-inspiring words today, and asked suspiciously.

"The queen mother and the royal brother work hard for the country every day, the child is young, neither can lead the troops to kill the enemy, but also can not lead the Li people, like a waste of people, to be able to share the worries of the queen mother and the royal brother has always been the wish of the sons, if the Mongols can retreat, the sons are willing to pledge. It's just ......" Zhao Yu said resolutely and decisively, but hesitated at the end.

"Just what?"

"Erchen is afraid that after being pledged, he can't greet you from time to time, and he can't play with the royal brother, I will miss you." Zhao Hao hesitated, pursed his lips, made a look of wanting to cry, and muttered.

"Good child, the queen mother is reluctant to let you go to that bitter cold place." Empress Dowager Yang couldn't help crying when she heard this, and said after Zhao Yu.

"Queen Mother, for the sake of the society and children, I will only think about it in my heart, and I will not tell others." Zhao Yu raised his face and wiped his tears and said, he knew that this was a critical time, and he had to do a full set of acts, so he could only endure pretending to be naïve, but he still felt a little guilty when he looked at Empress Dowager Yang's grief-stricken appearance.

"Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Wei really understands the righteousness at a young age, knowing that he wants to go to the land of tigers and wolves, and is willing to go to trouble for Sheji, the Queen Mother and His Majesty, and the old slaves are all admired!" Dou Xing said on the side, "The old slave also thinks that Chen Xiang is reasonable, and now the plan and discussion are the best policy, and it is better to make a decision as soon as possible." ”

"This ...... The sixth brother is so young, and he has traveled thousands of miles to the capital, how can the slave family rest assured. Empress Dowager Yang said sadly and hugged Zhao Yu tighter.

"The Queen Mother, the old slave also understands, but you should also focus on the society and don't live up to the expectations of the Queen Mother." Dou Xing persuaded again.

"Don't worry about the son-in-law, the queen mother can protect the society, and the son-in-law is worthy of the ancestors even if he dies." Zhao Yu broke out of the arms of the Queen Mother, knelt down and said.

However, Zhao Hao, who was lying on the ground, scolded secretly in his heart, Dou Xing, the old thing, didn't know how much benefit he received from Chen Yizhong, and he tried to help him say good things, but if Chen Xiang knew that he helped himself in the end, he didn't know what his face would be like at that time. And the Queen Mother must also have expectations for peace in her heart, after all, it is her own son who is sitting on the throne now, and Sheji Jiangshan is second. Now she hesitates, one is worried about the criticism of outsiders, and the other is that she is a soft-hearted woman after all, so she just asks for peace of mind.

The things sent to the door, Zhao Yu didn't want to let go, once he was allowed to open the mansion, the peace agreement was not successful, and it was too late for them to regret it, but he was able to complete the most important part of the plan, and there was a lot less resistance to the implementation of the things behind, at least he had an advantage in terms of reputation, and the title of generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses was still very appealing.

"It's just that my child is suffering, so that the slave family will have the face to see the sister of the Yu family in the future." Empress Dowager Yang was silent for a moment, and then suddenly burst into tears again. As soon as she cried, Zhao Hao breathed a sigh of relief, which showed that her determination had been made, and it was basically a foregone conclusion that she would open the mansion......

Zhao Yu cried with the Empress Dowager Yang for a while, and was sent to the back to play with the little emperor, and at the same time Dou Xing was ordered to summon several governors in the court into the palace to discuss matters, which also confirmed his judgment, the peace has been irreversible, and he also looked forward to not changing this history because of his arrival, so that the Mongols changed their minds, and really got themselves to be with the fourth brother emperor to be a companion, it would really be like lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

Zhao Hao, who had something on his mind, naturally didn't have the heart to play with the emperor's brother anymore, so he found a reason to quickly resign to the unhappy emperor's brother while he was still discussing the matter, so as to prevent the queen mother from detaining herself in the palace. He was worried that he would not be able to go back to spread the news that he would be pledged to Mongolia, and the house would not be scattered in an instant, and at that time, there would really be no room for maneuver, and there would be no chance to slip away!
