Li Gang did not give up the idea of resisting the invasion of the Chinese army, and after going down with the others, Li Gang found an opportunity to return alone, and then asked to see Zhao Gou.

The reason why Li Gang arrived at Ying Tianfu so quickly was completely the result of Zhao Gou's urging.

The first problem faced by Zhao Gou in inheriting the unification of Zhao and Song was how to stabilize the people's hearts and stabilize the current situation that was unfavorable to Zhao and Song.

Therefore, Zhao Gou must find a prime minister who can hold the stage and has the ability to help him.

Zhao Gou thought about the people he knew, and the first thing that came to mind was Li Gang, who had defeated the Jin army in the Battle of Tokyo.

Therefore, Zhao Gou sent five waves of people to invite Li Gang to Ying Tianfu.

Later, Zhao Gou heard that Li Yan also sent people to invite Li Gang, and immediately added three waves of people to invite Li Gang.

Only then did Li Gang rush to Ying Tianfu.

Li Gang came to Yingtianfu, and cried loudly as soon as he saw Zhao Gou.

The two monarchs and ministers remembered the old things and sighed.

It was not easy to stop the grief, and Zhao Gou asked Li Gang: "Aiqing, what can I do to revive the dynasty and appease the people?" ”

Li Gang had a plan and immediately put forward ten opinions to Zhao Gou.

Li Gang's ten opinions are to put it bluntly, in fact, they are two cores - the first, train the troops, and then drive Li Yan out of the Central Plains and regain orthodoxy. The second, training soldiers, and then the Northern Dynasty, welcomed back the second emperor of Huiqin, and was ashamed of the snow.

In a word, Li Gang lives up to his name and is ready to make the Southern Song Dynasty and the two powerful countries of Dazhong and Dajin tough.

After listening to Li Gang's suggestion, Zhao Gou's heart suddenly became cold.

Zhao Gou happily brought Li Gang to be the prime minister, because he wanted Li Gang to help him suppress the stage, so that all the subjects and soldiers in the world would listen to him and treat him as the emperor.

But after Li Gang came, he asked Zhao Gou to send him to death, and he wanted to get Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan back.

This made Zhao Gou a little disappointed, and even regretted getting Li Gang here.

In fact, among the ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a great deal of opposition to Li Gang as prime minister.

Even, before Li Gang came, Cheng Yanqi said in the imperial history: "Li Gang is hated by the Jin people, and it is not appropriate to be a prime minister." Fan Zongyin, the right counselor, also said: "Li Gang's name is floating in reality, and he has the power of shaking the lord, so he can't be phased." ”

Li Gang is a very loyal and upright person, he is bent on defeating the Chinese army and the Jin army, and welcoming back the two saints, and no one can oppose him, and when he encounters those who disagree with him, he must argue high and low, and he will not give up until he agrees with him.

Li Gang's character will undoubtedly offend many people.

In fact, Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and others spoke ill of Li Gang in front of Zhao Gou every day, and even impeached Li Gang.

Moreover, all these things advocated by Li Gang require money and military supplies.

It is precisely that the Southern Song Dynasty has just opened, how can there be money and materials for Li Gang to start a war with Dazhong and Dajin?

In Zhao Gou's view, at present, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the lives are in ruins, and fighting a war is not a top priority, but how to clean up people's hearts and stabilize the mess is the most important thing.

Zhao Gou was suffering from no one to help him cheer up the government and rectify the military and government, so he summoned Li Gang

But Li Gang has to be tough with Dazhong and Dajin regardless of it.

Especially this time, the Chinese army is about to hit the doorstep, and seeing that he Zhao Gou is about to be arrested and reduced to a prisoner like his father and brother, Li Gang is still tough.

Zhao Gou already thought that at this time, he should listen to Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and others, and learn from his father Zhao Ji Nanxing - since the Song Dynasty, China's economic center has shifted to the south, and the Jiangnan region has not been damaged by the war, it is relatively rich, and the people's hearts can be cleaned up, so it is the best policy to go to the south now and slowly try to do it.

This made Zhao Gou even more disappointed in Li Gang.

In addition, what Zhao Gou couldn't accept Li Gang was that Li Gang was very close to Zong Ze.

Zong Ze gave Zhao Gou a chapter not long ago, saying: "Since the arrival of the Jin people, the imperial court has not tried to order a general, out of a division, but when he heard the treacherous ministers, he made peace with his words, and he said that he was begging for the alliance, and finally caused the two saints to move north. ”

Zong Ze means: As soon as the Jin people came, the traitorous ministers were shouting all day long to negotiate peace, and they never saw the imperial court send a soldier to fight a decisive battle with the Jin people, so it caused the two saints to be captured, although I was cowardly, but I was willing to brave the arrows and rolling stones, lead the soldiers to resist the Jin army, the Chinese army, and sacrifice their lives to serve the country.

Zong Ze is simply angry with Li Gang, saying that there is no collusion between them, how can Zhao Gou believe it?

And Zong Ze is currently quite excessive, and he even recruited local volunteers to expand the army without authorization.

The reason why it is said that the Great Song Dynasty currently has an army of five or six hundred thousand is because Zong Ze's team has expanded in recent times.

Now there are nearly 200,000 volunteers under Zong Ze's hands.

What is Righteousness?

To put it bluntly, it is a person similar to the heroes of Liangshan.

Because of the fighting between the Song and Jin armies for more than a year, the people were repeatedly devastated by the war, so they spontaneously organized to defend their homeland, and fought whoever came to rob, or simply robbed others.

Some of the volunteer organizations slowly grew and became rebels.

For example, Wang Shan, a giant in Hexi, is said to have 700,000 troops, and once threatened to attack Bianliang City and compete with Li Yan.

After Zong Ze heard about Wang Shan's group, he rode out of the city alone to Wang Shan's lair.

Zong Ze saw Wang Shanhou and said that now that the Jin people have entered the country, the traitor Li Yan has stolen the treasure of Zhao and Song, the country is in danger, and it is in need of people like you, the prince, there are 700,000 people under your command, and you are making contributions to the country at this time, you must not only look at the immediate benefits, but also think about the name behind you, do you want to leave a name in history, or do you want to leave a stench for 10,000 years......

Zong Ze was reasonable, Wang Shan was deeply moved, and immediately expressed his willingness to lead 700,000 people to disarm and obey Zong Ze's dispatch.

Of course, Wang Shan actually did not have 700,000 horses, at most, it was only 70,000.

But there are still many people like Wang Shan, and Zong Ze is now working hard to recruit these people, threatening to build an army of one million, and then go north to regain the lost territory and welcome back the two saints.

This made Zhao Gou jealous!

Zhao Gou's impression of Zong Ze has always been bad, the scene when the Cizhou people beat Wang Yun to death and he was abducted back to Cizhou by the Cizhou people, as long as he closed his eyes, he could remember it clearly.

That's it, Zhao Gou's mind is not so narrow-minded, and he will not keep targeting Zong Ze because of these trivial things.

But the problem is that in Zhao Gou's opinion, the current Zong Ze is a little lawless, and he only thinks about how to fight with China and Jin, and he doesn't even listen to him, the emperor.

Moreover, Zong Ze's practice of mobilizing the masses and organizing volunteers and courage was also contrary to the purpose of the Song Dynasty's army-one of the important reasons why the Song Dynasty's army's combat effectiveness was weak was that the Song Dynasty's army was not mainly used to defend against external enemies, but to defend against internal enemies. Now Zong Ze has incorporated the giant into his account, which is too terrible for Zhao Gou, and there are endless troubles, don't forget, Li Yan was originally a giant Kou, and now he has been bold enough to steal their Zhao family's great treasure and forcibly occupy their Zhao family's daughters. Let's ask, how dare Zhao Gou use such a person?

The ministers around Zhao Gou also spoke ill of Zong Ze to Zhao Gou, saying that he was a scholar, but he was just the governor of Cizhou, and now he was appointed as the deputy marshal, which is already a great grace, and he should repay the emperor's grace, how can he listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, and said that Zong Ze has hundreds of thousands of troops in such a short period of time, what if he rebels one day?

These words just poked at the tip of Zhao Gou's heart.

The tragedy of the famous generals of the Song Dynasty, including Yue Fei, was actually expanded by this knot of the Song Dynasty emperor.

The Song Dynasty was not martial, and the emperor was most worried about the disloyalty and rebellion of the generals, fearing that the generals would one day be proclaimed emperor like Song Taizu won the world.

Therefore, the emperors of the Song Dynasty did everything possible to concentrate military power in the hands of the imperial court and the emperor, and the famous generals were invariably deprived of military power or even killed.

Zong Ze recruited volunteers without authorization, and surrendered 700,000 horses on a single horse, and was completely loyal to Zong Ze.

This made Zhao Gou have to think: "What if Zong Ze rebels?" Even if he doesn't rebel, but what he wants is to welcome back the two saints and ask me to save my father and brother, can I reuse this kind of person? ”

Zhao Gou felt that Zong Ze's power had posed a threat to him, and then his attitude towards Zong Ze became increasingly cold.

And Li Gang is very close to Zong Ze, isn't this sincere to sing against him Zhao Gou?

In short, Zhao Gou became more and more dissatisfied with Li Gang.

Therefore, Li Gang asked to see him alone, but Zhao Gou avoided it, and at the same time ordered someone to lay the burden and prepare for Nanxing.
