Chapter 423: I Have Decided Mind
The crowd of people who lined the petition had dispersed, but the panic of war had already sprouted in the hearts of the people.
Late at night, Jiankang City, which was also jubilant all night, was as quiet as a curfew, although the imperial court did not declare martial law.
Lu Yihao turned around from the corner gate, and when he stepped out of the threshold, he almost fell. This made the old family who had served him for many years very puzzled, although the privy minister was born as a jinshi, he was good at saddle horse bows and swords since he was a child, don't look at the nearly sixty years old, but his body bones are still very strong, how can he walk and almost wrestle?
"Xianggong, don't you care, right?" Holding Lu Yihao, the old family asked with concern.
Lu Yihao shook his head, took two more steps outside, and whispered to the old servant, "Return home immediately." Tell everyone to pack up and salute softly overnight, and all the servants in the house should be dismissed, and only the intimate ones should be left. When he had finished speaking, he walked towards Xingzai again, and there were two chamberlains with lanterns waiting for him at the corner gate.
Tonight, many important ministers were left in the palace by the emperor, and I am afraid that they will continue to distinguish them tomorrow morning.
There are now three ideas in the court, one is to go, one is to stay, and the other is to descend.
I went to Hangzhou, and even went to Lingnan, and there were those who called to go to Sichuan and Shu, guarding the country of abundance as the eighth king, starving to death, not afraid of fighting, and always able to be stable for two days; What remained was to rely on the convenience of the Yangtze River Naval Division to fight with the Northern Army. And the one who surrendered was a few relatives led by Wang Zongmi, who dared to shout for surrender in front of the ministers, even now, there were only Wang Zongmi, Zhu Bocai (the father of Queen Zhu Lian, Zhao Huan's father-in-law) and others.
Lu Yihao hurriedly left with the waiter after two short orders, leaving the dumbfounded old servant standing on the spot, this is going to run away again? Didn't the prince say today that he didn't run?
Holding the shelf of signing the Privy Council, he turned straight back to his residence, and Lu Yihao leaned into the chair a little weakly.
Who would have thought that the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court would be so vulnerable.
Back then, King Yan didn't enter Bianliang City, so he crossed the Yellow River to the north, but in less than two years, he made a comeback again!
Even if the Imperial City Division has already done a good job in the Northland, King Yan can't stop half a step!
The 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Eastern and Western Route Armies seem to be small, but they are all full of morale and high fighting spirit. Not to mention that they still have a large number of troops behind them, and they will soon follow.
"What a mistake!"
He shouldn't have gone to work in the first year of Jingkang, at that time he was still a transfer envoy on both roads in Hebei, if he could hold on for a year, wouldn't he be on the road of King Yan?
In the seventh year of Xuanhe (1125), he was exiled to the Jin State because Guo Yaoshi, the victorious army, wanted to reduce the gold, and was later released, and was ordered to be the transfer envoy of Hebei, and soon resigned due to illness.
It's not that he is really sick and can't be a director, but he thinks that this place in Hebei is too dangerous, because he thinks the court is too ridiculous.
Although the Jin people have returned to the north, how can they sit back and relax? If people can come this year, the Ming Dynasty can still come, is it really difficult to make a comeback?
Sun Fu, Wu Min and others did not step up the reorganization of the Hebei defense line, but rejected Xu Churen, and had disputes with Geng Nanzhong, Tang Ke and others, which turned the entire court into a mess, and Lu Yihao was angry and angry.
simply resigned and went home, although he was soon reinstated as the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road and the prefect of Yangzhou. Then he was promoted to the Jianghuai and Zhejiang envoys, and his official position surpassed that of Geng Nanzhong, who was demoted to Jiankang. Then at the end of the year, he was summoned to the Beijing Division and sat on the Privy Council to sign the book.
Before the ass could sit firmly, Zhao Gou had already raised a large army and rushed south.
Lu Yihao had no face to stay in Bianliang City to serve Zhao Gou, as a banner in the political arena of the Zhao and Song dynasties, Lu Yihao had no face to do so. This is not to say that Zhao Gou's practices are not in harmony with his political ideas, and the Tao is different, but that as one of the ministers, Lu Yihao must have the bearing of a minister, and he cannot lose the face of Zhao Song and the minister. You can only hold on!
What's more, he is nearly sixty years old, and Zhao Huan treats him well, and Lu Yihao has no intention of changing his court.
As a result, he fled from Bianliang to Jiankang, and before his ass was hot, he was about to run away from Jiankang again.
Thinking that Wang Yuan, Zhe Yanzhi and others were all generals of the Great Song Dynasty, and when they faced the Jin people, they didn't find out how capable they were, why did they come like wolves and tigers under King Yan? One hundred and sixty-nine years after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, has it really reached the point where the sky is about to change?
The court was entangled in arguments, don't look at a group of people who advocated sticking to it, but one by one couldn't say anything.
How to fight, how to fight, there is no order at all, just blindly speaking.
As for surrender, it is just a beating of the side drum, and in the end you have to flee a second time.
"Hey ......" Thinking of this, Lu Yihao couldn't help but sigh.
It's a fatal time, and there are still disputes in the court, and the will of God is in the north.
Tonight, there are really not a few important ministers in the court who feel that the general trend of the world has been decided like Lu Yihao, but compared to them, Zhao Huan trusts his teacher more, or he has not yet surrendered.
The prosperity and wealth of the Jiangnan system is also the vertical and horizontal waterways, there are many rivers, Zhao Gou beat Hebei to the south, how can there be half a water army? Even if the earth-shattering thunder is amazing, do you dare to go into the water?
There are no real big ships, and no amount of stone artillery is far from the Yangtze River. But Zhao Gou can restrain some cao ships in the land of Huainan, can he still turn cao boats into warships out of thin air?
Although the Great Song Dynasty did not set up a sailor division at all, it was the inspection of the swordfish village in Dengzhou in the north, which can only be said to be a coastal defense soldier, not a sailor.
But after Zhao Huan sent Geng Nanzhong down to Jiankang, the Jiangnan Sailor had already been set up.
Zhang Gongyu and other big ships, there are not many real warships, but it is true that they finally have the advantage in this regard.
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Yihao woke up early, this is because the elderly can't sleep long, and the second is that he has something to remember in his heart, and he can't sleep. Yesterday, everyone was arguing in front of the royal car, and Zhao Huan never seemed to be able to make up his mind after listening to this and that. I don't know how many tongues I have to waste today.
Thinking like this in his heart, Lu Yihao was dressed, but he heard some noisy sounds in his ears, and when he went out to take a look, he saw the inner servants, palace maids, and guards running back and forth, and he was in a panic. My heart is shocked, is this preparing to evacuate? The official family has already made a decision?
At that moment, he was about to hurry to see Zhao Huan, but he stopped again after only taking two steps. Someone brought the food, and only after using it did he get up. When I arrived at the place, I saw that Geng Nanzhong, He Li, Sun Fu and many others were already waiting outside. It's just that compared with the usual steady Mount Tai, at this time they are pacing one by one, looking extremely anxious.
Lu Yihao glanced at Geng Nanzhong, who was a neighbor with him, but he was no longer there when he got up.
After waiting for a while, the chamberlain came out to announce the edict, and the group hurriedly entered, and saw the Son of Heaven sitting behind the imperial case, motionless. There was no expression on his face, like a mud tire.
"Your Majesty." After saluting, as soon as the column was formed, Zhao Huan's voice suddenly sounded: "I have made up my mind, and I will be happy in Hangzhou on the same day." ”
