Knowing that Cai still moved the Fang La rebels and the southeastern rebels to the island of Taiwan and established a territory of his own on the island of Taiwan, and also proclaimed himself the governor of the capital, who would not know that Cai was still good at capturing and releasing the Liao lord and occupying the daughter of the Liao royal family was not a temporary intention at all, but had been planned for a long time, and the purpose was to stand on his own?

But—

It is precisely because Cai Ying's intentions are determined that Zhao Jijunchen has to be more cautious about Cai Zhen, who is already very well prepared-this is not just a problem of treason by a traitor, if it is not handled well, I am afraid that it will cause a catastrophe for the country.

You must know that even if you don't mention that Cai still has tens of thousands of horses in Yundi, just say that on Taiwan Island, it turns out that Fang La has an army of millions, and Cai still has only one-twelfth of them stationed on Taiwan Island, plus Cai is still in command of Cai who can fight well, it is possible that the Great Song Dynasty and the Zhao family will die.

Zhao Jijunchen deliberated repeatedly for a long time, and finally agreed that he could not act rashly, otherwise it might be self-defeating.

In the end, Cai Jing took the initiative to propose to send his son Cai Qian to Yundi to have a look, by the way, to test what Cai still wanted, and then make calculations according to Cai Ying's request.

Zhao Ji heard Cai Jing say that Cai still had the best relationship with Cai Qian and should be able to gain something, so he adopted Cai Jing's suggestion.

At the same time, Wang Hao advocated that Yanjing must be recovered.

Wang Hao's reason is that if the Great Song Dynasty cannot recover Yanjing, then whether Northern Liao and Cai are still united, or Cai still defeats Yanjing, it may be a disaster for the Great Song Dynasty.

Zheng Juzhong believed that it was time to repair relations with Northern Liao, restore the previous alliance, and then help Northern Liao resist the Jin army and Cai Yi.

Wang Hao said: "The Liao army killed tens of thousands of soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty, does Lord Zheng think this feud can be resolved?" ”

Zheng Juzhong said-for-tat: "Our soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty can't even defeat Yeluchun's remnants, how can we resist Cai still and Yeluchun joining forces, if Cai is still going south with Yeluchun, Cai still sends people to kill from the flow to the southeast, how should our Great Song Dynasty resist?" ”

Wang Hao said: "Don't we have allies in the Great Song Dynasty? Don't forget, the Jurchens who beat the Khitan to defeat and retreat are allies of our Great Song Dynasty, and we have a good agreement with the Jurchens, neither side can negotiate peace with the Khitan, otherwise it will be a betrayal of the alliance, once our Great Song Dynasty betrays the alliance, we may have to fight alone, at that time, it will be even more dangerous, and the best way to solve this dilemma is to recover Yanjing, and then work with the Jurchens to recover the clouds. ”

Wang Hao and Zheng Juzhong went toe-for-tat, and no one was willing to give in half a step.

At this moment, Wanyan Yinshu can represent Dajin to envoy the Great Song Dynasty.

After Yan Yinshu arrived in Dengzhou, Wang Shizhong did not dare to slack off, and while quickly informing the imperial court, he arranged for someone to send Yan Yinshu to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

When Zhao Ji heard the news, he issued an edict and ordered Zhou Wuzhong to arrange for the Jin envoys to live in the Duting Post House, receive them according to the etiquette of receiving Khitan envoys in the past, and give them mattresses and Poluo.

Because of Cai Yi's accident, Wang Hao and Zheng Juzhong quarreled endlessly, and it was not until mid-June that the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts arranged for Yan Yinshu to wait for the Jin envoy to come to Chongzheng Hall to meet Zhao Ji.

After finishing Yan Yinshu, he could bow down to Zhao Ji, and submit the national letter, matters and draft affidavits one by one.

Make a recommendation and make an oath, but your country will use swords and soldiers......

To put it simply, the letter of the Jin State was to question why Zhao Song had attacked their Dajin army in spite of the oath, causing them to lose their Dajin army.

Zhao Ji asked Wang Hao to go to entertain Yan Yinshu first, but he could wait for the golden envoy to inquire about the golden envoy's intention.

Wang Hao feasted at home and waited for the golden envoy.

Without waiting for the meal to start, Yan Yinshu said: "At the beginning, when Zhao Liangsi sent me Dajin, he agreed with our Dajin on behalf of your Great Song Dynasty, and your Great Song Dynasty will first take Shuo, Ying, and Wei Sanzhou, and wait for our Dajin to capture the Liao Lord, and then hand over the cloud land with your Great Song Dynasty, but your Great Song Dynasty's Hedong system envoy Cai still crossed the border without authorization to capture the old Khitan master, and took the gold and silver treasures, concubines and concubines of the old Khitan master, as well as the jade seal, the crown of the Son of Heaven, the jade book, the gold seal, the chariot, the law driving and other things of the Liao State The emperor's honor guard is all taken for himself. At the beginning, our two countries had an agreement first, and all of these belonged to my Dajin, and also, we both had an agreement first, and no one could make peace with the Khitan, but Cai still captured the old Khitan lord and then released the old Khitan lord who was caught, so that the old Khitan lord gathered tens of thousands of Dadan people and united with the Tangut people to constantly harass my Dajin's land...... What do you Da Song explain about this? ”

Faced with Wanyan Yinshuke's questioning, Wang Hao was speechless.

According to the previous covenant signed by Song and Jin, if Cai is still counted as Song Chen, then it can be said that the Great Song Dynasty is a complete breach of contract, not only has no integrity at all, but also has the suspicion of taking the initiative to start a war with Dajin.

After being silent for a long time, Wang Hao said: "I can't answer you about this matter now, how about we talk about it tomorrow?" ”

After finishing Yan Yinshu, he could understand that Wang Hao was going to ask Zhao Ji for instructions and discuss with other Song Chen.

Wanyan Yinshu knew that this was an inevitable move, so he didn't object, he just said: "The war between us and Cai is about to break out, so you, Da Song, had better make a decision quickly, and we Da Jin should decide whether Cai still goes to war or makes peace with Cai Zhen." ”

As soon as Yan Yinshuke's voice fell, Wang Hao's pupils shrank!

After finishing Yan Yinshu's words, Wang Hao captured a very terrifying possibility - Cai is still in alliance with the Jin Kingdom!

"If Cai is still allied with the Jurchens, then ...... The Khitan, which had been torn apart, could never be the opponent of Cai Ying and the Jurchens, and by that time, the north of Yanyun had returned to the Jurchens, and the south of Yanyun was ...... The Great Song is in danger! ”

Thinking of this, Wang Hao said to Wanyan Yinshuke: "Ambassador, rest assured, our Da Song will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." ”

After arranging Yan Yinshuke, Wang Hao entered the palace overnight, and then told Zhao Ji about his worries.

When Zhao Ji heard this, he couldn't help but become worried, and then asked, "Wanyan Yinshu really said that he wanted to make peace with Cai Yanshu?" ”

Wang Hao replied, "It's true. ”

Zhao Ji thought for a while and said: "But Cai still annihilated an army of the Jurchens, and let the Jurchens lose their troops and generals, can the Jurchens negotiate peace with Cai Zhen?" ”

Wang Hao said with a wry smile: "Official, is it difficult to choose between an army and most of the Khitan territory?" ”

Zhao Ji knew that it was not difficult to choose at all, if he was a complete fight, he would definitely forget about the army that had been completely annihilated for the time being, and chose to get the vast territory first.

Zhao Ji said in a deep voice: "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Wang Hao said: "The only way to do this is to continue to form an alliance with the Jurchens, then increase troops to Yanjing, incorporate Yanjing into the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, and then work with the Jurchens to exterminate Cai Zhen, so as to resolve this catastrophe." ”

Zhao Ji thought to himself: "In this way, you must not choose to unite with Ye Luchun, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger." ”

After thinking about it like this, Zhao Ji made up his mind, and then said to Wang Hao: "Tell the envoy Jin about Cai still as appropriate." ”

As long as there is the tone set by Zhao Ji, everything else is actually easy to do, which is nothing more than the exchange of interests and compromises.

A few days later, Wanyan Yinshu returned to the Kingdom of Jin with great satisfaction.

……

At the same time, the imperial court's edict reached Xiongzhou, ordering the seed master to be sent to the Privy Council of the Beijing Division, to accept punishment, and He Shu was transferred to the deputy envoy of Bozhou regimental training and placed in Yunzhou, and Hou Yi was transferred to Haozhou Zhizhou.

The seed master returned to the Privy Council and wrote a thank-you note:

The minister is out of discipline, and he should be punished for misleading the country. The year of grace and generosity, the grace of the dethronement. It belongs to the division of Xing June, and it is known that Yan Ran's can be captured. And when the ministers are wise and obedient, they are not adaptable, and after the exhaustion and decay, the wisdom is in a daze, and the capital is not martial, which is the responsibility of reckless merit, not to mention the defeat of state affairs, and the cover is defiled by the ancestors. Thinking deeply about life, great loss today! The minister swore to himself with a bare heart, and raised his gray hair to count his sorrows. The graphics of the Smoke Pavilion have been obedient to Su Wang, and the Baling Hunting will be completed for the rest of his life......

After that, the planter Dao silently left Tokyo, and then came to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain in Shaanxi, where he lived in seclusion in the leopard forest valley and lived a peaceful life, thinking that he would die here for the rest of his life.

However, things are always so unpredictable......

……

The planter is gone.

Everyone understands in their hearts that the Dao of the Seed Master cannot be said to be right, but the main responsibility is not the Dao of the Seed Master, he is just taking the blame for Tong Guan and others, and he is being a scapegoat for Tong Guan and others.

That night, Liu Tao, a staff officer of the marching army, lost his words after drinking, and he said to a subordinate officer named Kang Sui of the Seed Master Dao: "The old general, after Guan Shaanxi Mingxian, has been in the army for decades, and he has raised troops to what he wants, so why not fight?" Why can't the city go down? Today's white ditch is ashamed, it's a pity, it's a pity! ”

Kang Sui said: "This time when the troops were sent to the Northern Expedition, when planning, the generals were not allowed to participate, and when the troops were raised, they suddenly ordered the appointment of the generals as the commanders of the capital, and the military power was restricted, and they could not command independently, so they suffered this defeat, can he be held responsible?" If Tong Xuanfu can believe in the generals like the champion Hou believes in his generals, can we have this defeat? ”

“……”

“……”

No, the conversation between Liu Tao and Kang Sui was overheard, and then quietly reported to Tong Guan.

From then on, Tong Guan no longer trusted Liu Tao, gradually coldly alienated Liu Tao, and planned to find an opportunity to transfer Liu Tao from the Xuanfu Division.

But—

Just when Tong Guan was about to send Liu Tong down, Tong Guan suddenly received a secret letter from Zhao Ji.

On this secret letter, Zhao Ji wrote in his own handwriting: If there is a chance, you can coerce Cai to enter Beijing, or you can directly kill him.

After getting Zhao Ji's secret order, Tong Guan was thinking, how could Cai Ying, who was strong in martial arts and heavily protected by heavy soldiers, be caught or killed?

Suddenly!

Tong Guan remembered that Liu Tao's son Liu Ziyu served under Cai Ying, and it seemed that he was still quite used by Cai Ying.

This made Tong Guan have a plan.

Subsequently, Tong Guan brought Liu Tao over and explained to Liu Tao like this.

Soon, Liu Tao took dozens of dead soldiers to Yundi to vote for his son Liu Ziyu......
