When Li Gang heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, Zhao Huan's condition, it is estimated that it is difficult for Jin Guo to agree, it can be seen that Zhao Huan is determined to win the sixteen states of Youyun.

"Your Majesty, I don't know who to choose for this peace talks?" Li Gang asked Zhao Huan and said.

"Let Li Guang of Honglu Temple choose a suitable person to come out as an envoy." Zhao Huan said, as a wise emperor, the most important thing is to know how to delegate power, and if some things are handed over to his subordinates to do, he can improve the enthusiasm of his subordinates.

Li Gang looked at Zhao Huan in front of him and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The next day's morning pilgrimage.

As soon as Zhao Huan said the news that Jin Guo wanted to negotiate peace in the court, the entire court immediately exploded.

Originally, it was Song Guo who wanted to negotiate peace with Jin Guo, but this time it was a different protagonist, and Jin Guo wanted to negotiate peace with Song Guo, and the ministers were naturally happy, which showed that the strength of their side had improved significantly.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is a great thing for me, so far Song Jin has been spared from war, which is a great blessing for the people of the two countries!" Li Ruoshui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said.

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "I've been suffering for a long time, and now I've finally fought a beautiful turnaround." After a pause, Zhao Huan continued: "Now is the best time for me to collect the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, so I have decided to send a large army to attack Liu Yu's puppet Qi and recover the lost territory. ”

After Zhao Huan said this, all the ministers in the court immediately became silent.

After a while, Zhao Ding, the head of the household, stood up from among the ministers and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, this year, the locust plague in Shu is rampant, and the grain collected from all over the country has been used to relieve the victims. ”

Zhao Huan frowned, it was food again, it seemed that he needed to find a way to get some high-yield grain, he couldn't help but say, "Is all the grain used to relieve the victims?" How much surplus grain is left in the treasury now? ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, this year's locust plague in Shudi, the great drought in Shanxi, and the occupation of Shandong by the Jin army, the grain output in the main grain-producing areas of our dynasty is seriously insufficient, and the surplus grain in the treasury can barely hold out until next summer's harvest. Zhao Ding continued.

"Your Majesty, there have been many natural disasters recently, and it is a warning from heaven, at this time, I really shouldn't stir up trouble anymore and provoke the anger of the heavens." Li Ruoshui stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the land under Liu Yu's jurisdiction is uninhabited for three hundred miles, and corpses are everywhere. Huang Weimin, the head of the household, stood up and said.

Zhao Huan shook his head and said: "It is precisely because the people of Shandong are living in dire straits that they should recover the lost land, and the common people of Shandong are also my people, and now they are living in dire straits, don't you officials and gentlemen sitting high above the court feel anxious?" ”

Zhao Huan's words were really sharp, and he directly said that all the ministers in the court were speechless, to be honest, they really didn't think about the life or death of the people in Shandong.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to take this opportunity to negotiate peace with the Jin Army first, and our dynasty will take the opportunity to recuperate, if the peace talks are successful, everyone will be happy, if the peace talks do not go well, then after the national strength of our dynasty recovers, we will choose the opportunity to regain the lost territory." Bachelor Han Feng stood up and said.

Zhao Huan saw the expressions on everyone's faces, it was obvious that a large part of the ministers in the court were against waving the army to the north, and even Li Gang of the main battle faction did not stand up and speak at this time, which shows that the timing of this Northern Expedition is indeed not very mature.

Zhao Huan only found out at this time that although he was an emperor, it was not as he imagined, and he could do it happily if he wanted to do something, the Song Dynasty was a strange dynasty, emphasizing literature and light on martial arts, and scholars and several great families had a great restriction on imperial power, just like now, all the scholars and doctors were against the Northern Expedition, and Zhao Huan had to worry about even if he was the emperor.

"In this case, let's first follow what Aiqing said, make peace first, and you will discuss a peace plan and report it to me." After Zhao Huan finished speaking, he announced that he had something to do and had nothing to do.

Zhao Huan returned to the imperial study, feeling a little unhappy, he didn't feel such a constraint when he killed the six thieves, but he didn't expect that there would be so many objections if he wanted to go out of the Northern Expedition now.

Of course, the most important thing is that the six thieves did make people angry at that time, and a group of scholars and families were also oppressed by these six people, seeing Zhao Huan destroy them, it is estimated that it is too late to be happy, now the six thieves have gone to five, and the remaining one Liang Shicheng has closed the door all day, it seems that the death of the remaining five people made Liang Shicheng smell the danger, so he honestly nested up.

However, the way the scholars and several families deal with it is not like these six thieves, just like several major families, they are all people who have contributed to the founding of the Taizu Emperor Zhao Kuangyin, if they attack them at this time, it will inevitably cause a backlash from several major families, you must know that they are in control of the lifeblood of several pillars of the Song Dynasty, and they must be careful.

It's like a lot of iron mines, all in the hands of the Li family in Henan, and many scholars in the court are also protégés of the Li family, and some are still the in-laws of the Li family.

Henan Li family, Henan Zhang family, Shanxi Wang family, Shanxi Yao family, Zhejiang Ma family, Shu Liu family, these six families, almost controlled most of the economy of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan had a headache, as a hegemonic emperor, he needed to hold the power tightly in his hands, but these six families are a major constraint to imperial power.

"Your Majesty." Suddenly, a ghostly figure appeared in front of Zhao Huan, startling Zhao Huan, who was pondering.

"Huh? What's wrong? Zhao Huan raised his head and looked at the beautiful girl in beige military uniform in front of him, and couldn't help but smile proudly, obviously very satisfied with his idea.

"Liang Fengying, the mentor of the people's daughter, went out to travel some time ago, and he came back yesterday, I don't know when His Majesty will meet him?" Zhang Yu said to Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan thought about it at this time, as if he had forgotten this stubble. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The First Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty Paw Book House" for free for the first time.
