Early the next morning, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, went straight into the palace to ask to see Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji hadn't gotten up at this time, and he had been teaching the piano with Master Li in Jinxian Lane for half the night last night, and under the urging of Liang Shicheng, he reluctantly returned to the palace.

Zhao Kai waited outside for more than an hour before he saw the inner servant Zhao Ji walking out of the dormitory. Zhao Kai hurriedly stepped forward to pay a visit, Zhao Ji was very fond of this son who had a bit of his own style, and asked, "Why did the third brother come here today?" Presumably what kind of treasure did you get? ”

Zhao Kai bowed and replied: "Erchen is here for Yanjing's business. I heard that the former army was defeated, and Yanjing City was lost, how can this be worthy of my father? After hearing about this yesterday, Erchen couldn't sleep all night, and rushed to the palace early in the morning, wanting to ask his father for this errand, share his worries for his father, and do his part for my great Song Jiangshan Yonggu. ”

Zhao Ji glanced at Zhao Kai with deep meaning in his eyes and said, "The third brother really has a heart. It's just the matter of Yanjing, not empty words, I don't know how much the third brother knows about the matter of Yanjing? And what can be done to calm Yanjing? ”

Zhao Kai lowered his head, didn't see Zhao Ji's eyes looking at him at all, and said according to what Wang Hao taught him: "Yanjing has internal and external troubles, the territory is narrow, and how can it last long with only one city defense?" Besides, there is no one who has no main business, as long as the ministers know the benefits and disadvantages, and then promise generous gifts, are you afraid that those people will not be moved? The land of the people behind the mountain has been lost, and there are Jin people who are brutal, my Great Song Dynasty treats me generously, and still allows the official position to be the same as before, and gives generous rewards, and Yanjing's recovery is just around the corner. ”

Zhao Ji listened carefully, and said pointedly: "Young Master Wang also said this like the third brother, it seems that the third brother and Young Master Wang have the same opinion." ”

Zhao Kai hurriedly said: "How dare Erchen compare with the current dynasty Zaifu? It's just to share the worries of my father with all my heart. ”

Zhao Ji nodded and asked, "I think that Yanjing is the territory of the Fanren, there are soldiers and bandits everywhere, and the imperial army has been defeated back to Xiongzhou, can the third brother have the courage to go?" ”

Zhao Kai raised his chest and raised his head and said: "Daddy, the eighth sister of the son, a woman, is also single, and said that he surrendered to the rebels. Is Erchen not as good as the eighth sister? "In terms of the ranking of brothers and sisters, Emperor Maode ranks eighth, and Zhao Kai calls Maode the eighth sister.

Listening to Zhao Kai talk about Emperor Maode, Zhao Ji couldn't help but laugh again, Mao De can say that the rebels are alone, but before the army, everyone sees it, and it can't be faked, so every time I think of it, Zhao Ji is very relieved - but the prince in front of him is not bad, poetry and painting are romantic, and talented, he is a horse and a bow, a gold and stone appreciation, and he is proficient in everything, and when he was young and was a vassal king, how similar it is.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji asked: "Since the third brother is loyal to this, I will order you to go to Yanjing and have full authority to deal with the affairs of the Yanjing rebels." But with whom? ”

Zhao Kai hurriedly thanked him and said: "Erchen plans to go to Yanjing with Wang Anzhong and Wang Zuocheng. Please also ask for Daddy's permission. "Zhao Kai wants Wang Anzhong to accompany him, part of the reason is indeed Wang Anzhong's ability to do things, but the most important thing is that Wang Anzhong has never been biased between him and the prince, and belongs to the neutral faction. This time, by going all the way north, according to what he had discussed with Wang Hao last night, he would be able to win over if he could, and let Wang Anzhong throw himself into his faction. If Wang Anzhong is unmoved, he must declare his closeness to Wang Anzhong to outsiders, so that the prince's faction will think that Wang Anzhong has become his own party, and will never accept Wang Anzhong to join the prince's camp again. In this way, Wang Anzhong's resistance to himself is gone.

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "The third brother thinks very much. It's just the third brother. ”

Zhao Kai said: "If you want to succeed, you must borrow your father's humerus minister." I hope that Daddy will be gracious. "Fat Cat Literature Network

Zhao Ji asked, "I don't know which minister the third brother wants to use?" In order to calm Yanjing, don't say that the minister of the humerus is Daddy, maybe you will call this time. ”

Zhao Kai knew that Zhao Ji was joking, and said, "How dare your son work for his father?" The ministers did not want to send the ministers, lest outsiders talk about the ministers colluding with the ministers. It's just that this matter is important, which is related to the success or failure of Erchen's trip, and it must be supervised by important ministers of the court, so Erchen thought of Wang Shaoshi. ”

Zhao Ji didn't care, and said: "I'll ask Young Master Wang to assist you in handling this matter, but what does the third brother want Young Master Wang to do?" ”

Zhao Kai hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Please forgive the sons and daughters for their courage, they dare not confide in the big things before they are done." ”

Zhao Ji didn't ask, and said with a smile: "The third brother will go and prepare quickly, I hope that the third brother will go and return early when the matter is finished." ”

Zhao Kai hurriedly thanked him, and then withdrew from the palace and went out of the palace to prepare.

As soon as Zhao Kai left, the little chamberlain entered the hall again, presented a letter, and said: "Your Majesty, Jin Guo sent someone to send a letter of state, please ask Your Majesty to read it." ”

Zhao Ji opened it and saw that it was written: "On October day, Emperor Dajin sent a letter to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty: Time flies, and it is a year in a blink of an eye. Last year, this dynasty sent an envoy to your country, in order to make an appointment to jointly send troops to crusade against the Khitan, but your country did not send an envoy to reply to the letter, and I waited for more than a month, and the consumption of military rations was not calculated, and the soldiers were clamoring, so we had to raise troops. The Khitan lord is mediocre and incompetent, our army has captured Xijing a few days ago, and is now stationed in Fengshengzhou, and is sending troops to attack Khitan Nanjing, and I am surprised to hear that your country has reconciled with the old Khitan alliance and turned its back on our dynasty. I wonder what your country explains?

Thinking that Yeluchun, the king left behind in Nanjing, had already sent people to our dynasty to ask for peace with our dynasty, as a rule, Nanjing already belonged to our dynasty, how could your country repeatedly not believe this?

Recently, I have heard that your country has raised troops to the north and blocked the passes, presumably to cut off the communication between the front and back of the mountain.

However, without your country's report, it is ultimately speculation. Today, according to the reasons before and after, I will write to inquire about the meaning or how, hoping to show the end. The bitter winter is coming, and the celestial bodies are coming. Tonight, Ulu sent a small gift to the envoy. Duan Fengshu Chen Da, not announced. Sincerely. ”

Zhao Ji read the letter of the Jin Kingdom several times, always thinking that he had read it wrong, but in the end, he still couldn't understand why the emperor of the Jin Kingdom said that he had reconciled with the old alliance of the Fanren, and asked himself why he cut off the customs and transportation, and whether he was not ready to make peace with them in the Jin Kingdom?

Isn't this Jin Emperor feverish and confused? How have I ever sent someone to reconcile with him? Where did the soldiers and horses come from to cut off the traffic on the pass? If I have such a strong soldier and horse, am I still worried that this Yanjing City cannot be recovered?

It's just that this letter of state is not the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom who drank too much alone, so he casually wrote and sent it to someone, since the Emperor of the Jin State has such a question, something must have happened in Yanjing - this damn Liu Yanqing, and the eunuch, actually misunderstood me so much! Now I don't even know what happened in Yanjing.
