Chapter 788: Ask the Emperor Taishang to make peace
Xu Zizhen disappeared, just a few days before the Chinese New Year, and no one in the entire Xu family knew where he went, not even Hu Sanniang, who was a mother.
Gao Pujun is about to go crazy, Bianjing doesn't know what the situation is, his father doesn't know if he is safe, and the two younger brothers are going to go, Xu Zizhen, a dead man, pretending to be a ghost, can't figure out whether he has a clever plan to save Bianjing.
In the past few days, Zhao Gou has come to look for Xu Zizhen several times, but every time he has pounced, Zhao Gou is about to go crazy, his news is naturally faster and more detailed than Gao Pujun, so he knows what the situation is in Bianjing now, but his biggest reliance Xu Zizhen is gone.
Sun Tie said goodbye and left the next day, and after he left, everyone was surprised to find that Li Meng and Bao'er had also disappeared, and no one knew where they went.
Bianjing was broken, the Jin soldiers had completely surrounded the palace, and the commander Wanyan Zongwang, that is, he was suddenly seriously ill, but the news was blocked very tightly, and no one could find out the truth.
It was good news when the soldiers were approaching the city, but Zhao Huan in the palace was not happy at all, because now the military power of the entire Right Route Army was handed over to the Wushu, and Zhao Huan knew better than anyone how difficult the Wushu was, because he was the one who accompanied the Wushu when he came to Bianjing.
Sure enough, the day after the siege of the city by the Jin soldiers, Wushu sent someone to deliver a letter, which did not contain many words, only a few words.
"Heaven and earth have been divided into north and south since ancient times, I am the son of the northern country, Bianjing is not Sole, and what is discussed today is just cutting the land."
Zhao Huan looked at the letter in the study in a daze, and a group of cronies and important ministers stood down, he looked at it for a while, and then looked up and asked everyone: "Could it be that the meaning of the Jin people is to ask for peace?" ”
"The official family, the minister thinks that the Jin people come from afar on fast horses, and the grain and grass will not last, and the matter of negotiating peace should be true."
The person who spoke was thin-eyed, long-haired, and extraordinary, and he was the cronies promoted by Zhao Huan after the "shuffle" of the officials in the DPRK and China, and the right servant shot Tang Ke, who belonged to the standard lord and faction officials.
That's what Zhao Huan thought in his heart, negotiating peace was what he wanted to see the most, even if he lost some gold and silver and ceded some cities, it didn't matter, he nodded and was just about to signal Tang Ke to continue, when suddenly a voice burst out.
"The Wushu child is capricious, how can his words be credulous? I think he wants to coax the official family out of the palace to take it lightly, and then my Great Song Dynasty will collapse soon! ”
Zhao Huan was immediately a little unhappy, this was too straightforward, although he himself knew that Wushu might have this mind, but he was never willing to admit it, take it lightly? I am the son of destiny, who can be light? Who would dare to take it?
He turned his head suddenly, and the man in front of him was dressed in heavy armor, with a helmet in his hand, and there were civil officials in both columns in the study, and he looked very different in this.
Zhao Huan's unhappiness dissipated instantly, because he couldn't afford to be half angry with this person.
The person who spoke was the governor of Dengzhou, and the governor of South Province, this time Bianjing was besieged, and none of the garrisons came to Qinwang to rescue, even the "virtuous brother" Xu Zizhen who he had been thinking about did not appear, but only Zhang Shuye, after learning that Bianjing was besieged, he led his two sons and 30,000 subordinates to rush from Dengzhou to Bianjing overnight, and encountered Jin soldiers on the way, and broke through the encirclement and broke into the capital while fighting.
Ordinary people only know that he met Jin soldiers on the road, but they don't know that what he encountered was the main force of Jin soldiers, and Zhang Shuye actually fought against 70,000 Jin soldiers with 30,000 tired divisions, and finally rushed into Bianjing safely, and when Wushu learned the news, Zhang Shuye was already meeting Zhao Huan in person.
Zhao Huan cleaned up his mood and asked with a pleasant face: "Then how should I deal with Zhang Qing's intentions?" ”
Uncle Zhang's expression was a little gloomy, and he shook his head and said: "Weichen doesn't know, if the defenders of the Beijing Division are all there in the past, how dare Wushu Xiao'er put such nonsense?" ”
Zhao Huan also fell silent, at this time last year, there were still more than 200,000 defenders in Bianjing, but unfortunately most of them were finally dispersed by the courtiers, some were released to the northwest, some were sent back to their hometowns, and some died on the battlefield when they rushed to aid Taiyuan Datong, and now there are only more than 60,000 people left in Bianjing, and the hundreds of thousands that Xu Zizhen knows are still the number of a few months ago, and great changes have already taken place during this time.
At this time, a eunuch outside the door called softly: "Official, the Jin people are here again." ”
Zhao Huan was stunned, involuntarily sat down on the chair, and said in a trembling voice: "Please...... Invite him in. ”
Seeing this, all the ministers sighed secretly, a monarch, actually used a word of invitation to the enemy, and it was simply shameless.
Not long after, a Jin general came with the eunuch, his expression was arrogant, his nostrils were facing the sky, and after entering the door, he said to Zhao Huan in a big voice: "Emperor of the Song Dynasty, the fourth prince of my family invites your old emperor to talk about it." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms, asked the eunuch to hand it to Zhao Huan, and then left with a sneer, without saying a word.
Uncle Zhang was furious, this golden general dared to wear armor and a knife to face the saint, and he was so rude, but he was just about to scold angrily, but he heard Zhao Huan sigh: "That's it, I'll go and discuss with my father, you ...... Step aside. ”
The officials looked at each other, hearing Zhao Huan's meaning, they really planned to ask Emperor Zhao Ji to go to the Golden Camp in person?
I saw that Zhao Huan really left in a hurry, Uncle Zhang sat on the chair with a plop of face, his eyes were pale and his eyes were dull, everyone else had already ridden to the head, and his own emperor was still only thinking about how to make peace with the other party, was there really not even a trace of blood? The Great Song Dynasty is going to die, and it is going to die!
Soon after, Zhao Huan came to Longde Palace, which is the residence of Emperor Zhao Ji after his abdication, when Zhao Huan entered the door, he saw Zhao Ji sitting behind the desk, his eyes were dull and he didn't know what he was thinking, and even the calligraphy and painting that he loved all his life were thrown aside, Zhao Huan sighed secretly, the Jin people besieged the city, and the father was obviously frightened, and he was actually not much better, and now he was just holding on, but looking at his father's appearance, he knew that he might not be able to rely on him for peace talks in Jinying.
Sure enough, Zhao Ji shook his head like a rattle after listening to Zhao Huan's explanation of the meaning of the golden people, and refused to go, Zhao Huan was helpless, he knew that his father was timid, but since his father was unwilling to go, the "burden" of the peace talks could only be picked by himself after all.
Two days later, Zhao Huan led a number of ministers to the golden camp, the north wind was bitter on this day, the wind and snow were mixed, and finally arrived at the golden camp after traveling for several hours, Zhao Huan did not plan that the Wushu would be kind enough to personally come to the camp gate to greet him, but he did not expect that not only did not come to greet him, but he was "invited" into a dilapidated house with four walls leaking after entering the camp.
A Jin man who was dressed as a general folded in again, holding a tray in his hand, on which were placed the four treasures of the study, and after entering the door, he threw it on the table, and said in half-baked Chinese: "Emperor Song people, write." ”
Zhao Huan didn't understand for a while, and said in amazement: "What to write?" ”
The golden man grinned: "Of course, it is to write the table." ”
