…

Empress Zheng was very uneasy about Zhao Ji's preparation to unite with the Jurchens to recover Yanjing!

"Is it possible to rely on these barbarians to recover Yanjing?"

"The world has been peaceful for a long time, there are songs and dances everywhere, everyone only cares about their own happy life, who cares about Yanjing's lost land? Moreover, this is not recovered by their own strength, but by the Jurchens, which is really too dangerous. ”

“……”

After thinking about it again, Empress Zheng felt that she should still persuade Zhao Ji.

On this day, seeing that Zhao Ji was in a good mood, Empress Zheng persuaded and said: "Official, just keep the ancestor's country and govern the world well, don't always think about expanding outward, the Great Song Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, once a war breaks out, who wants to go to the front line to die?" Don't listen to the one-sided words of some ministers. ”

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Do you think I look like an emperor who is expanding abroad?" I just want to recover the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties. ”

Empress Zheng said: "So the official family wants to use the power of the Jurchens to recover Yanjing? ”

Zhao Ji said: "Let them fight with each other, and our Great Song Dynasty will benefit from it, isn't it good?" ”

Empress Zheng said: "I heard that the Jurchens are very barbaric and difficult to socialize, so why should we provoke them?" If there is a cause of right and wrong, won't the gain outweigh the loss? ”

Zhao Ji said: "Do you know what the current situation of Liao is? is falling apart, for the Great Song Dynasty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I want to seize this opportunity, opportunity is such a thing, fleeting, I want to use the minimum price to get the maximum harvest, I told you, you don't understand, you just wait for the good news that I recovered Yanjing. ”

After speaking, Zhao Ji left, unwilling to stay with Empress Zheng for even a moment.

Seeing that Zhao Ji had made up his mind, it was difficult to convince, and Empress Zheng frowned.

Soon after, Empress Zheng heard that her father was in poor health and went back to her parents' home.

Seeing that his daughter was sullen, Empress Zheng's father, Zheng Shen, asked, "What's unhappy about the queen?" You might as well speak up and listen, maybe I can find a way. ”

It is no longer a secret that Zhao Ji wants to recover Yanjing, so Empress Zheng told Zheng Shen about her conversation with Zhao Ji a few days ago.

After hearing this, Zheng Shen sighed lightly and said, "It seems that the official family is determined to recover Yanjing...... It's just that he wants to use the Jurchens to recover Yanjing, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, the Jurchens are both barbaric and ferocious like bandits, and very cunning and ruthless like lemurs, dealing with them, the result can no one predict...... I have to find someone to persuade the official family again. ”

Empress Zheng said: "Deng Xunwu has passed away, and most of the people left in the court are flatterers who dare not go against the will of the officials, who can persuade them?" ”

Not long ago, Li Gang, Li Guang and others were all demoted from Tokyo by Zhao Ji because they advised Zhao Ji not to establish Fengying Division, and Zhao Ji was out of sight and out of mind.

Moreover, even if Li Gang, Li Guang and others were not demoted from Tokyo, it would be useless, their positions were too low to influence Zhao Ji's thoughts at all.

Zheng Shen said: "Otherwise, let Zheng Juzhong persuade the official family?" ”

Zheng Juzhong was the son-in-law of Wang Jue, who had served as prime minister during the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Zheng Juzhong has been well connected since he entered the career of Jinshi in the examination, and his position has been promoted step by step.

At the same time, Zheng Juzhong is also very good at relationships, he and Empress Zheng actually don't know each other, just because they are both surnamed Zheng, he even climbed high branches and said that he was Empress Zheng's uncle and cousin.

And Empress Zheng also needed important ministers to help her consolidate her position as queen, so she admitted the matter.

In this way, Zheng Juzhong slowly became the spokesperson of the post-party.

Although Zheng Juzhong is only in his early sixties, not as big as Cai Jing and Tong Guan, his health is not very good, and he has been sick in bed recently.

Therefore, Zheng Shen proposed to let Zheng Juzhong persuade Zhao Ji, and Empress Zheng couldn't help but hesitate a little and said, "Can he get out of bed?" ”

Zheng Shen said: "No, you have to go, besides him, among the courtiers today, who else can persuade the officials?" ”

On the same day, Zheng Shen went to Zheng Juzhong's house.

The next day, Zheng Juzhong dragged his sick body to the Chongzheng Palace, and then said to Zhao Ji: "Official, the Jurchens are barbaric, vulgar, treacherous and cold, and they can't be handed over. ”

Zhao Ji said: "How do you know that the Jurchens can't be friends?" Have you dealt with the Jurchens? ”

Zheng Juzhong said: "Although the minister has never dealt with the Jurchens, I heard that the Jurchens live in a desolate land, hunting and fishing for a living, eating raw meat, drinking raw water, and are not yet civilized, and their barbaric temperament can be imagined. ”

Zhao Ji made a blank face and said: "You can't make decisions based on imagination, you are still Dazai, I don't understand this reason!" ”

Zheng Juzhong knew that he was at a loss, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "The minister thinks that the Song-Liao alliance should not be lightly destroyed, and the faith of the ancestors should not be lightly abandoned. ”

Zhao Ji's face became even more gloomy, and he said, "Who said that I was going to break the oath of my ancestors?" ”

How could Zheng Juzhong not see the change in Zhao Ji's expression, but he felt that he must say what he should say - this is his duty.

Therefore, Zheng Juzhong continued: "Official, you must not be blinded by those thieves who harm the people of the beetle country......

Hearing this, Zhao Ji was even more unhappy, and said coldly: "In your opinion, I am a faint king who does not distinguish between good and evil, true and false, isn't it?" ”

After that, Zhao Ji, who had a blue face, blasted Zheng Juzhong out.

Zheng Juzhong wanted to persuade Zhao Ji, but he touched a gray nose from Zhao Ji, and his heart was very depressed.

Leaving the Chongzheng Palace, Zheng Juzhong walked directly towards the capital hall, he wanted to persuade Wang Huang.

When he came to the capital, Zheng Juzhong said to Wang Hao: "The bad idea of uniting the Jurchens to attack the Liao State came from Zhao Liangsi, who is Zhao Liangsi?" He was abandoned by the Liao court, he had a grudge against the Liao State, so he defected to our Great Song Dynasty, why did he encourage our Great Song Dynasty Northern Expedition to Yanjing? His purpose is obvious, just to avenge himself, didn't Xianggong see it? ”

Wang Hao said: "Whether Zhao Liangsi has bad rules or is loyal to the country, it is not for you and me to judge, it is up to the officials to judge, to be judged by history, you and I are just courtiers, and we should act according to the orders of the officials." ”

Zheng Juzhong naturally can't say, you are the prime minister, how can you only obey orders, when you have your own opinions, this kind of rebellious words, if he says it, but he has been in the officialdom for so many years, he can only say in another way: "Between Song and Liao, there have been two hundred years of soldiers who do not know the blade, and the peasants do not increase their service, even if the peace policy implemented in the Han and Tang dynasties, there has not been such a prosperous and stable situation as our dynasty, if you break the alliance and abandon the contract, I am afraid that it will cause the anger of the heavens and the people. ”

Wang Hao said: "The so-called hundred-year peace covenant is actually unequal, and the official family has long been extremely disgusted with giving 500,000 silver silk to Liao every year, so there is the intention of joining the gold." ”

Zheng Juzhong retorted: "A mere 500,000 silver silk, what is it to our Great Song Dynasty?" During the Han Dynasty, 100.9 million coins were given to Shan Yu, how many times more than today? And once the war starts, how many times will the military expenditure be consumed? ”

Wang Hao said impatiently: "The official family has already decided, who would dare to stop it!" Don't fan the flames everywhere, it's not good for you. ”

Zheng Juzhong said angrily: "One day in the future, the one who will make the people of the Great Song Dynasty smeared with liver and brains is your Wang Xianggong!" When you are on the ground, you will not be able to escape the blame! Then he left angrily.

The two sentences that Zheng Juzhong threw down at the end were sonorous and powerful, making Wang Hao panic and sit for a long time.

In fact, from Wang Huang's heart, he is also skeptical of Lianjin's strategy to destroy Liao.

But Wang Huang clearly knew that Zhao Ji wanted to recover Yanjing, and if he went against Zhao Ji's wishes, he would be the prime minister.

Moreover, if you don't recover Yanjing now, will you give Yanjing to Li Yan or to the Jurchens?

Zheng Juzhong left the capital hall and came to the Privy Council next door.

Tong Guan was the initiator of Zhao Ji's Northern Expedition, and he was also the leader of the army, if he could convince Tong Guan, he might be able to stop the Northern Expedition.

Zheng Ju found Tong Guan and said, "I just came out of the capital hall, and Wang Hao has already been scolded by me. ”

Tong Guan said lukewarmly: "Isn't Zheng Dazai going to scold me here?" ”

Zheng Juzhong said: "Who dares to scold Taifu? I'm here to persuade the Taifu to keep his head well, don't accidentally cut it off. ”

As soon as Tong Guan heard this, his face sank suddenly!

Zheng Juzhong didn't seem to see Tong Guan's face, and continued: "Yanjing is very important to my Great Song Dynasty, I know this, but don't forget, that land is also very important to the Liao State, to the Jurchens, and to Li Yan. None of these three are easy to get along. How can Yanjing be so easy to recover? ”

Tong Guan was silent.

He already knows the combat power of the Liangshan army, and at the same time knows that the Jurchens are not easy to mess with, as for the Liao State, I hope that the former Great Liao Empire has really completely declined.

Zheng Juzhong said again: "Don't always think about making meritorious contributions, you can now say that you have achieved fame, you have recovered the Qingtang Dynasty, and exterminated Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La, these are enough for you to go down in history, if you are not satisfied, I think, you will be ruined." ”

Tong Guan smiled reluctantly.

If he didn't agree to the Northern Expedition, how could Zhao Ji let him be reinstated?

Although Tong Guan is nearly seventy years old, his body is still very strong, so he doesn't want to retire and wait for death.

Seeing that Tong Guan was not moved by him, Zheng Juzhong turned around and left in disappointment.

Walking outside the door, Zheng Juzhong paused, then turned around, looked at Tong Guan and said, "Who are the Jurchens?" It's a tiger and wolf, if you insist on dealing with the tiger and wolf, then sooner or later you will cause trouble, do you believe it or not? You, as the initiator, will be primarily responsible in the future. ”

Tong Guan remained silent.

Although Tong Guan had realized that what Zheng Juzhong said was reasonable, he was still reluctant to hold the power in his hands.

And if he wants to retain the power in his hands, he must obey Zhao Ji's wishes, otherwise he will definitely be replaced by Zhao Ji, who has already made up his mind to the Northern Expedition.

Seeing that Tong Guan had also made up his mind, Zheng Juzhong left the Privy Council very disappointed.

After coming out, Zheng Juzhong looked up at the gloomy and compassionate sky, and muttered, "What kind of fate will the Great Song Dynasty have?" ”

A few months later, Zheng Juzhong died violently, posthumously crowned the king of Huayuan County, and was named Wenzheng.

Throughout Zheng Juzhong's life, he cannot be regarded as an honest and honest official or a very accomplished official.

However, even so, Zheng Juzhong's death was of great significance to the Northern Song Dynasty, because he was the last minister of Zaifu who dared to speak out at a critical moment before the Northern Song Dynasty revealed the state of the country.
