"I'm tired of it today, and I'll talk about it another day. It's all gone! ”

At this time, Zhao Gou was exhausted, and his energy was completely gone.

Chen Kangbo saw that the emperor had no intention of discussing matters, so he could only give up.

The ministers sent the emperor away from the palace.

As Zhao Gou left, a more fierce controversy immediately broke out in the hall, and for a while, the crowd was boiling, and the civil and military officials were divided into three factions: war, peace, and escape. Even if some of them couldn't speak, they didn't retreat with Zhao Gou leaving, they stood aside and watched quietly.

The fierce and chaotic controversy in the court lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and the inner servants came to deliver the emperor's edict, ordering them to disperse, and after each returned to the ministry and division, the civil and military officials left the Daqing Hall and walked towards the outside of the palace.

But on the way out of the palace, the hundred officials vaguely formed three camps, each gathered in one place, still talking loudly, the main battle faction was huge, the escape faction was second, the main and the faction had the best number, and there were some wavering and undecided, no idea, either silently following behind them, or leaving in a hurry.

Even after going out of Hening Gate all the way, the discussion of the hundred officials fighting, peace, and fleeing still did not stop, breaking the previous practice of not discussing matters when leaving the palace, because the words of the Jin envoy Gao Jingshan gave them great stimulation and caused them to encounter the biggest crisis in 20 years.

The main battle faction, headed by Chen Kangbo, the left minister, and Zhu Zhuo, the right minister, summoned the officials of the military department, the household department, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of officials to the three provinces to discuss matters, actively prepare for war, and defend against the southern invasion of the Jin.

The Lord's peace faction and the fugitive faction also had their own supporters, and each went to the minister's office, gathered the people to discuss matters, and discussed solutions.

A day later, the words of the golden envoy Gao Jingshan at the He Tianshen Festival quickly spread in Lin'an City.

Then, rumors spread that the million-strong army of the Jin people was gathering in Bianjing, the Great Song army could not resist, and the emperor and the civil and military officials had decided to move to Fuzhou.

It didn't take long for someone to get reliable news that the emperor and hundreds of officials were going to move to Quzhou.

After half a day, some people said that the relatives who served in the Ministry of Rites were packing up their belongings and preparing to move to Shuzhong with the emperor.

The rumor that the emperor and the hundred officials were going to flee from Lin'an was like a huge stone falling into the calm lake, which instantly broke the prosperous and peaceful scene of Lin'an City, and people were panicked for a while, and many people began to think about escaping from Lin'an.

Yang Congyi, who stayed at Huiyi to wait for the news, naturally heard the news.

The court received the most accurate news that the Jin people were preparing to invade the south, and it should not be vacillating between war and peace!

At present, any available army will appear in the field of vision of the imperial court, and the elite army will not be an exception, what he has to wait for now is the edict of the imperial court, and then lead the army north, waiting for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Lu You, who was about to leave Lin'an, heard the rampant and rude remarks of the Jin envoy Gao Jingshan in the court, as well as the discussion and attitude of the civil and military officials on this matter, and invited Yang Congyi to write to the court together in indignation, resolutely opposing the cession of the land of the Yangtze River and Hanshui, and suggesting that the imperial court hoard grain and grass and military supplies in the military land, actively prepare for war, and strike a head-on blow to the enemy who invaded the south. The front line will be chaotic, and this battle will be lost!

Yang Congyi and Lu You jointly signed it, and did not write separately.

He knew that in the past few days, the notes that flew into the three provinces and the imperial palace must have piled up, and these notes either suggested preparing for war, or suggesting that the capital be moved to avoid temporarily, or that the envoys should be sent to negotiate with the land, and at this time, no matter how good the strategy against the enemy was, it would be buried in the piles of notes, and all the factions wanted to know was how many supporters they had.

Besides, Yang Congyi is not very senior in the army, he is not a full-time commander of the army, and he has never fought any battles.

For now, all he has to do is quietly wait for news, and after he is called, prove himself on the battlefield, and then his position will be solidified, so that he can have a chance to go further.

He, Lu You, Shen Jin, the official status of the three of them is too easy to obtain, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, they just went out to the sea a few times, brought back gold and silver treasures to the emperor, brought back rare and precious things to the wealthy merchants and nobles, and reaped benefits for the powerful to get promotions and official positions, which must be unsightly transactions.

Especially Yang Congyi, who has not fought a few battles, in just ten years, he has been promoted to the Western workshop envoy among the envoys, the official residence Wuxian doctor, the official secretary of the same level, which of the ministers is not an official for decades, and has worked hard, how can people not be jealous?

It is precisely because he feels the jealousy of others that Yang Congyi is very low-key when he is in Lin'an, and almost does not participate in any entertainment, even if he is promoted, he does not invite anyone, let alone go to restaurants and places to celebrate. Being hated by others, and he doesn't know how to be a low-key official, then he is not far from bad luck, he understands this truth, because he wants to go further.

In the midst of the controversy in Lin'an City, no one heard Yang Congyi's voice, he was quietly waiting for an opportunity.

With the snowflake-like music flew into the palace, after fierce competition, the three factions of war, peace and escape quickly divided the victory and defeat, the main battle faction suppressed the main peace faction and the fugitive faction with a great advantage, and the court was occupied by the main battle faction headed by Chen Kangbo, the left minister Chen Kangbo, and the main battle faction completely gained the upper hand in the court for the first time in 20 years.

A few days later, the imperial court ordered that half of the crossbowmen of the forbidden armies in Zhejiang, Jiangdong, and Fujian were selected and sent to the Privy Council for testing.

A day later, Chen Kangbo, the left minister, and Zhu Zhuo, the right minister, summoned Yang Cunzhong, the king of Tong'an County, Zhao Mi, the third marshal, and Zhou Linzhi, the secretary of the Privy Council, to discuss the matter of raising troops in the capital.

On the same day, an edict was issued to convey the words of the Jin envoy Gao Jingshan to all the commanders, commanders, and supervisors, so that they could adapt to the situation and not lose the favorable opportunity for battle.

Also on this day, the imperial court mourned the first emperor Zhao Huan, and ordered him to be beheaded for three years.

The next day, an edict was issued to make Wu Ling the envoy of Sichuan Xuanfu, and ordered Wang Gangzhong to jointly handle military affairs.

On the third day, he ordered the chief officer Ma Junsi Cheng Min to have 30,000 soldiers to defend Ezhou.

A few days later, he ordered the two prefectures of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hu, and Fujian to recruit crossbowmen from the forbidden army and send them to Mingzhou, Pingjiangfu, Jiangzhou, Chizhou, Taipingzhou, and Jingnan to replenish the front-line army.

At the beginning of June, Liu Jian, who learned that the Jin envoy was in Lin'an, sent a letter to the imperial court, requesting that he immediately lead the army to cross the river, and the imperial court agreed, and the edict was opened, and 3,000 cavalry were stationed in Yangzhou.

Ten days later, the imperial court issued an edict appointing Liu Jian as the envoy of Huainan, Jiangdong, Jiangxi, and western Zhejiang.

Five days later, the imperial court sent the infantry military division to control the military horses of Qi Fang's commanders on the river, and obeyed Liu Qian's command.

On the same day, he told Wu Gong to strictly guard Xiangyang, and if the situation was critical, he could order Tian Shizhong and Cheng Min's troops in the Ezhou area to go to support.

A few days later, an edict was issued to allow the Huainan prefectures to move to the administrative offices and clear the wilderness.

The alliance between the Song and Jin countries had not yet been formally torn up, the Jin State moved its capital, and the emperor went south, and the imperial court had to send an envoy to welcome him.

Who knew that Zhou Linzhi refused to send another envoy, so he had to order the Privy Council to order Xu Hao to go to Bianjing to congratulate the Emperor of Jin on his behalf.

At the beginning of July, he ordered the coastal states of Zhejiang and Jiangdong to guard against the enemy's attack, and at the same time ordered all the commanders to inspect the soldiers and archers.

A few days later, Zhou Linzhi, a fellow privy councillor who refused to send an envoy to the Jin State and congratulated the Jin Emperor, was demoted to a branch office and moved to live in Yunzhou.

In the middle of the year, on behalf of Zhou Linzhi, the Privy Council of the Jin State promised Xu Yao to return to Lin'an, bringing back news that shocked Zhao Gou and the Manchu Dynasty.

It turned out that he had gone all the way north, and as soon as he arrived in Xuyi County, he was stopped by the Jin State Greeting Envoy who was waiting there, and conveyed to him the edict of the Jin Emperor, asking him to return to Lin'an immediately, and asking the imperial court to re-send the prime minister and the Taiwei to go. In addition, the other party also told him that the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom had arrived in Bianjing as early as June, and if he could not delay any longer, he would personally lead a million troops to hunt south!

This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Zhao Gou and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military!

Didn't the Jin envoy Gao Jingshan say that their emperor would not arrive in Bianjing until the end of August, or the beginning of September? How could it arrive two or three months early?

Soon after the order issued by the imperial court to prepare for war was delivered to the border, grain and grass materials had just begun to be raised, let alone transported to the important military town in Jiangbei, which meant that the entire war preparation had hardly been substantially advanced.

The first time I learned the news, the main battle faction, the main and the faction were all in chaos!

Just when the other two factions were panicking, the fugitive faction took the opportunity to rise, and its momentum in the court became louder and louder, and it quickly gained the upper hand.

They instigated the emperor to take advantage of the fact that the Jin people had not yet gone south, and hurriedly retreated to Fuzhou, if they crossed the Huai River and the Yangtze River, they would not be able to avoid it, and I was afraid that they would repeat the mistakes of the Jingkang Rebellion!

Zhao Gou was frightened, and his heart to resist Jin was shaken, and after a little persuasion from the fugitive minister, he agreed to leave Lin'an for temporary refuge, and ordered Chen Kangbo, Zhu Zhuo and others to make preparations as soon as possible.

Chen Kangbo quickly calmed down, verbally refused to carry out the order to flee from Lin'an, and immediately fought the fugitives and stated the benefits of fleeing Lin'an to the Great Song Dynasty.

He told Zhao Gou and his ministers that the imperial court fled from Lin'an, although the emperor and some officials had to steal their lives for the time being, but if they gave up the Jianghuai, Jiangnan, Jingxiang, and Jinghu military and civilians, they would definitely lose the hearts of the people, once the Jin people went south, the Great Song army and the people, everyone would flee south like the emperor and the civil and military officials, and then the Jin people would flee south from the Huai River to the Yangtze River, and then cross the river to Lin'an, it would be like entering a no-man's land, and they would be able to occupy all the large areas of Jiangbei and Jiangnan without difficulty. The Great Song Dynasty will inevitably escape the fate of destruction in the end!

Chen Kangbo tried his best to persuade Zhao Gou to stay in Lin'an, otherwise no matter whether he could resist the Jin people going south or not, he would have no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors.

At the same time, he proposed that all officials who advocated fleeing should be dismissed from their posts, expelled from Lin'an, and never hired.

With Chen Kangbo's fierce remarks, the officials of the main battle faction soon gained the absolute upper hand in the court.
