Seeing Zhao Ji's grateful appearance, not only did he never mention that he had betrayed the court, as if he, the emperor, had been looking forward to meeting with his former close minister Aiqing, Xiao Tang couldn't help but be stunned by this behavior, and then he came back to his senses, and couldn't help sneering, and secretly said: This Zhao Ji really took great pains to return to Bianjing safely as soon as possible......

Now it seems that Jin Jun has completely "trained" Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan's father and son clearly. Originally, as the Ninety-Five, after being pulled down from the throne, even his wives and concubines and children had to prostrate at the feet of the foreign cowards as slaves, and he suffered all kinds of humiliation, which was already a desperate situation, but as long as someone could save them from the clutches of the Jin people, even if it was Xiao Tang who turned his back on the court, they were willing to admit it.

It's just that even if the current situation is more acceptable than letting the Jin army escort him to the north, Zhao Jizi doesn't know what Xiao Tang will do with himself and the heirs of the Zhao clan, so he never mentions Xiao Tang's identity as a traitor and thief, not only promised on the spot that he would be rewarded heavily, but even did not hesitate to move the ancestors of the Zhao royal family out to gamble and swear......

In other words, in addition to begging to continue to keep his old Zhao family to sit on the throne, Zhao Ji's general meaning is that as long as I can let the Song court clan return to Bianjing, no matter what other conditions, you Xiao Tang can open it casually.

Zhao Huan, who was standing beside Zhao Ji with trembling hands, seemed to remember his identity as a Great Song official at this time, and immediately stood up, and said more urgently: "What my father said is exact!" Xiao Aiqing is majestic, loyal and martyrful, when the country is in many difficulties, it is safe to protect the community, destroy the enemy and make great contributions to Kuang Fu Sheji, which is really an immortal achievement! It is not an exaggeration to make such a great achievement a knighthood! ”

Rao is Zhao Huan was desperate to get out of danger, so he opened up conditions that were enough to teach the Song court ministers to be beyond the reach of their lives. And Xiao Tang sat on the horse and glanced at Zhao Huan, who was looking forward to it, and secretly said that you have no jokes, but what you said is like a fart, and how much of the promise you made is credible?

The decline of the Northern Song Dynasty regime and its eventual demise were indeed caused by the faint monarch Zhao Ji and even the traitors he favored and reused, but the disgrace of Jingkang was also caused by the incompetence of this Zhao Huan. In the official history, this guy reigned for just over a year, and replaced 26 ministers, not to mention the critical season when the Jin army drove south and went up to Bianliang in Tokyo twice...... I'm afraid that it would be light to say that he is dumb and incompetent.

What's more, according to the original trajectory, Zhao Huan's reaction in the face of the invasion of the Jin army seems to be that he first intended to flee Bianjing after being forced to succeed to the throne; Later, after the seed master Dao led the army to advance into Bianjing, he suddenly stopped talking about peace as if he was convulsive, and kept urging the seed master Dao, who was originally waiting for King Qin's soldiers and horses to assemble and then counterattack the Jin army, to rush into battle; When the Jin army retreated from the first southern invasion, Zhao Huan once again changed his mind and did not allow the division to send troops; The old minister proposed to build a defensive line again to prevent the Jin soldiers from coming again, but Zhao Huan still agreed first and then vetoed it...... The Great Song Dynasty, which was already in turmoil and a national disaster, was greedy for such a neurotic emperor who felt uncomfortable every time a major decision-making seemed to remain unchanged a few times, how could it be saved?

Xiao Tang knew very well that even if Zhao Huan said it sincerely, most of them would still have to change their hexagram after this guy could finally be fully secured, and the thick sealing conditions that the two of them had promised now seemed tempting, and they still had to be restrained by the Song court, so naturally they didn't teach Xiao Tang to look at it.

The official seal is a product, and he enjoys the king, and there is no fart. Xiao Tang now wants Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, the two foolish emperors, to admit and agree, that the imperial court promises to be able to be autonomous and self-reliant when he leads the rebel forces under his command to attack the Jin State.

Now the biggest role of these two faint monarchs, in addition to staying in Bianjing as their decorations, and maintaining the situation that the Central Plains is roughly unified with the outside world, is that they can also give themselves a name and identity to the righteous soldiers and horses under their command. An independent organization that can retain its own power, and has been approved by the Song court to expand northward when recovering the lost territory, at least at this stage, it can order the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty that is still loyal to the imperial court not to fight and attack with the Zhulu Righteous Army under his command, and when it fights with the invading Jin army again, it can even fight in coordination with the Song court's forbidden army.

Even if Zhao Huan didn't plan to let Xiao Tang, a rebel who had turned his back on the Song court, set up another door, and would eventually rebel, but he and the Zhao clan had been ravaged by the Jin army for a long time and had just been rescued, and this extremely painful lesson was enough to make this faint monarch unforgettable. At least when there are Zhulu rebels to resist the Jin army's re-invasion of the territory, Xiao Tang knows that he can make a big deal out of it, in the name of resisting the foreign army, he has no need to be held hostage by the imperial court, and he can gradually expand the power of the jurisdiction reasonably and legitimately, forming a local separatist feudal power similar to the Tang Dynasty period when he was in charge of civil affairs and finance, and controlled all the military and political power, and when the Jin State is no longer the biggest threat to the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Huan will finally regret and change his hexagram, it is already in a situation that is enough to subvert the Jin regime. Xiao Tang can also roughly predict that his own forces also have the strength to compete with the big powers.

After all, Fang is still the king's family in the world, you two faint kings, although you are innocent of death, but only for the time being, you can still sit on the dragon chair, and the righteous army led by my brothers can have a slight relationship with the old and young people, Wu Jue, Liu Qi... Of course, there are also opportunities for Yue Fei and many other good generals who are still loyal to the Song Dynasty to share the same hatred.

Xiao Tang secretly thought in his heart, although before this reunion with Zhao Ji, he had already discussed with Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong and other brothers, and now that he saw the flattering appearance of these two faint gentlemen, a fire in his heart still couldn't help but rise, and he didn't care about the identity of Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan at the moment, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "I forgot my life and died with my henchmen and brothers who gathered together for righteousness, and I fought against foreign humiliation and turned the tide in danger when the country is in crisis, and I am worthy of standing in heaven and earth." But the two of you are in vain, arrogant and lascivious, close to treacherous, let the power of the people be in charge, give the wealth of the people, and the power of the trapped army, and cause the thieves in the world to swarm, let the foreign cowards run rampant, but not only the children of your Zhao clan have been tragically harmed, but also the people of Li have been brutally harmed by the Tartars, have you ever felt a little guilty in your heart!? ”

And Xiao Tang scolded himself in front of him like this, Zhao Ji's face changed, and then he made a look of self-blame and guilt, and beat his chest and said: "What Xiao Aiqing said is very true!" I'm ashamed to be a gentleman in vain! It's all because of my indulgence and frivolity, and the greed and greed are gluttonous, the words of the court and the central government are obscured, the guidance is heard every day, the orthodox eaters enjoy the wealth, the disasters are different and I don't understand, and the people are resentful and I don't know...... Fang Jin made a big mistake, but he tired the Zhao clan, causing all the people to be miserable, chasing after their own guilt, how much to regret! ”

Not only Zhao Ji repeatedly cried out for blame and blame, but Zhao Huan on the side was also sad and ashamed, and even called me cowardly and incompetent, tired of my ancestors, and lost to all the people... In addition to almost submissively subservient in front of Xiao Tang, and out of the reason that they could get the other party's approval to let them return to Tokyo Bianliang, with the painful experience of being captured and humiliated by the Jin army, and regretting when they were in a desperate situation, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan could at least realize that they had caused such a monstrous disaster now, and they were indeed to blame. has already suffered humiliation at the hands of Jin Jun, and now he can't care about the majesty of the emperor, the father and son are howling and blaming themselves, but they are not making a show to make a profit......

It's just that although Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan can't care about the face of the Son of Heaven at the moment, there are still many courtiers behind them who were captured by the Jin Army and are now gathered together. One of them immediately stood up and said indignantly: "Those who are ministers are worried about their ministers, and they are humiliated and die!" Leader Xiao, although he is now willing to lead the soldiers and horses of the green forest as the righteous teacher of King Qin, fight the golden thief to save the second emperor here, and make a meritorious deed to settle the chaos of foreign robbers, but he must not insult the saint like this! ”

In the end, the concept of loyalty to the monarch and serving the country is still deeply rooted in the bones of many literati in this season...... Although he saw that Wenchen was the first to jump out and accuse himself, Xiao Tang just sighed secretly in his heart, and he was not annoyed at all, but still had some respect for that courtier, and asked, "But I don't know the name of this minister?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Tang was not angry, Na Wenchen spoke politely, and also made a steady move. After the person reported his name, Xiao Tang's face pulled down: "Don't dare to be, I am Qin Hui and Qin Huizhi, Zhenghe has been a Jinshi and the first in five years, and has received the emperor's grace, and now the official residence is in the imperial history." ”
