The civil and military forces of the Great Song and Manchu dynasties have been divided into two factions, the main battle and the main peace, and fierce debates have been launched in the court.

Wang Qinruo, deputy prime minister of the governor's affairs, first said: "Your Majesty, the Liao army is crazy and ruthless, reckless of the consequences, if once the Yellow River is crossed, the consequences are unimaginable, Weichen thinks that our dynasty can take this opportunity to move the capital to Jinling." Jinling is the ancient capital of all dynasties, with outstanding people, fertile land and smooth rivers, which is the best place to build the capital. ”

Chen Yaosuo, the deputy privy envoy, stepped forward and said: "Lord Wang is right, the Liao army is at the top of its edge, there is no need to take the risk of encountering it, but moving the capital to Jinling, Weichen thinks it is inappropriate." ”

"Wrong?" Wang Qinruo frowned and said, "What's wrong with Jinling?" Where should you move, in your opinion? ”

Chen Yaosu said: "The Liao army is out this time, it is extremely ferocious, and no one can guarantee where they will hit. If the capital is moved to Jinling, what if the Liao army conquers Kaifeng and then moves south, does the emperor want to move the capital again? ”

"This ......" Wang Qinruo was speechless, speechless for a while.

Zhao Heng asked anxiously: "Chen (ài) Qing, where do you say it is appropriate to move?" ”

"Your Majesty, at present, it is most suitable to move to Chengdu, there is a Jianmen natural danger to hinder it, even the gods can't pass the pass."

"No, never." Wang Qinruo said loudly: "Sichuan has just put down the rebellion, who knows how many remnants are in Chengdu, it is too risky to move the capital to Chengdu at this time, Lord Chen, you can't persuade the emperor to take risks so irresponsibly just because you are from Chengdu." ”

"You're talking nonsense." Chen Yaosuo was so angry that his beard trembled, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are loyal to the emperor, and there is no selfishness, but Lord Wang's ancestral home is in Jiangnan, is it as he said......"

"Chen Yaosuo, don't spew blood...... words," Wang Qinruo interrupted Chen Yaosuo with a loud roar, and the two argued fiercely in the court.

Zhao Heng shouted angrily: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, I'm not a child, how can I not know your loyalty." After speaking, Xiang Kou Zhun asked, "Kou (ài) Qing, should I go to Chengdu or Jinling?" ”

Kou Zhun has been watching coldly and silently, just wanting to see who will jump out and run for his life at such a critical moment. At this moment, when he saw the emperor asking him, he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty,

At this moment, you must not retreat and run away, once the emperor goes south, he will give up the people in the north and the soldiers on the north bank of the Yellow River, and then the Great Song Dynasty will only collapse for thousands of miles and fall into the pocket of the Liao State in an instant. Therefore, Weichen believes that the emperor not only cannot go south, but also has to drive the army to boost his prestige. ”

"What, Imperial Driver?" Zhao Hengda was taken aback and stood up unconsciously.

Wang Qinruo shook his head again and again on the side and said: "No, never, isn't it child's play to drive the imperial conquest, the Liao State is so fierce, how to ensure the safety of the emperor?" ”

"Yes, yes, you can't drive it in person." Chen Yaosu immediately echoed: "The first emperor drove back several times, and escaped with an arrow during Yongxi's Northern Expedition, if it weren't for Tian Enhao (dàng), the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

Zhao Heng was frightened when he heard this, his headache (yù) cracked, and he waved his hand and said, "Disperse, disperse, Rong Zhen think about it carefully." ”

The ministers knelt down to thank the emperor for his grace, and from (shēn) out of the big (diàn). Kou Zhun didn't go out, he still had to continue to do Zhao Heng's work, Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosuo didn't go out either, the goal was not achieved, and they couldn't give up easily.

In the upper study, Zhao Heng looked grim and paced back and forth on the ground.

Kou Zhun persuaded again: "Your Majesty, you must not listen to the words of those cowardly and stupid villains, now that the enemy is close at hand, the hearts of the people in the country are fluctuating, and they are all looking at Your Majesty. If Your Majesty advances, the morale of the Hebei armies will be greatly shaken, and the situation of the battle will surely change, and as long as you take half a step back, it will immediately collapse and the whole line collapse. At that time, you couldn't escape Jinling at all. ”

Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosuo were said by Kou Zhun to be (jiān) timid people, they were angry in their hearts, and they just wanted to argue, but they were stopped by Zhao Heng and said: "Kou (ài) Qing, it's not that I'm timid and afraid of things, and I don't want to conquer in person, but the Liao army is so fierce, and our 200,000 troops are left far away in Dingzhou, isn't it equivalent to sending me to death?" ”

"As long as the arrangements are reasonable and proper, the emperor will be safe."

"How to arrange, you can tell me." Zhao Heng asked.

Kou Zhun said slowly: "First, order Yang Yanzhao to go out of Yanmen Pass and attack in the direction of Shangjing of the Liao Kingdom, so that they have worries. ”

"Second, order Wang Chao's Dingzhou array to move south, send troops and horses to reinforce in the direction of the Daimyofu and Lanzhou, and tightly hold the tail of the Liao army."

"Thirdly,

When the Liao army (yù) crossed the river in Lanzhou, it must first pass through the Daimyo's Mansion, and it was very necessary to find a way to stop it in the Daimyo's Mansion. ”

Zhao Heng sighed and said, "Kou Zhun, you don't know that there are only a few thousand people in the Daimyo Mansion, how can you stop the Liao army like a wolf and a tiger?" ”

Kou Zhun smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, although the Daimyo Mansion has few soldiers and generals at this moment, we can send a highly respected minister to the Daimyo Mansion, so that the military and people of Hebei can believe that you have not given up on them, so that we can win time for the emperor's personal conquest." ”

Zhao Heng breathed a long sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Hearing you say this, I am a lot more relieved, if I can do what you said, I will not lose the duel with the Liao army, but who will I send to the Daimyo's Mansion?" ”

As soon as Kou Zhun turned around, his eyes were blazing, and he looked at Wang Qinruo, this person stayed by the emperor's side (shēn), it could only do bad things, it was better to send him to the front line to do something good.

Wang Qinruo was so frightened when he saw Kou Zhun looking at him, he just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but he saw Zhao Heng's eager gaze. This was Kou Zhun's idea, but it was also the emperor's intention. At such a critical moment, can you refuse the emperor? Of course not.

He knocked out his front teeth and could only drop them in his stomach, and pretended to be firm and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to the Daimyo's Mansion." ”

"Okay, good, great, I knew that Wang (ài) Qing would share my worries, so I immediately issued a decree and ordered Wang (ài) Qing to be the minister of the Qin Mission, and quickly went to the front line of the Daimyo's Mansion to preside over the war."

Wang Qinruo gritted his teeth, and quickly whipped his horse with the holy decree, and went to the Daimyo's Mansion day and night.

At this time, Kou Zhun put forward another killer move: "Your Majesty, you still have a move that is useless, once you use it, you can ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Zhao Heng was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "What is it, you say it quickly." ”

"Please come back to Princess Mingyue and Ling Kun."

When Zhao Heng heard this, his face changed instantly, he sat on the chair, shook his head and sighed: "How is this possible, how can I face them, and since they have already left, they will definitely not come back." ”

Kou Zhun shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, when the country is at stake, what is the personal grudge in the family, the emperor's face is not important, and the eldest princess will not let the Great Song Dynasty die." ”

Zhao Heng once again fell into hesitation.
