The five corpses were lying neatly in the compound of the Banjing Pavilion, their heads and bodies had been sewn together and covered with white cloths.

Wu Lin replied to Zanmo's expression was solemn, looking at the five corpses with their heads together, and muttered for a long time before he said: "I can't imagine that among the southerners, there are people with such a fierce temperament, and they dare to resist the holy decree ......."

Wan Yanwen on the side was full of resentment, and said hatefully: "This person has been rude repeatedly, we must protest to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, please behead this person, otherwise the alliance will be stopped!" ”

He was first defeated and humiliated by Zhao Hao in public yesterday, and then he was beheaded by Zhao Hao, and he had no face, and he gritted his teeth with hatred for Zhao Hao, and he wanted to break Zhao Hao's body into pieces.

Wu Lin replied to Zanmo and said with a wry smile: "According to what I have checked, this person is the son of the clan, the favorite minister of the Song Emperor, although he is only a four-grade official, but even the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, Cai Jingjing, wants to avoid a few points, and if he wants the Song Emperor to correct the law because of several envoys...... That's impossible, this person is still young, acting recklessly, and controlling the secret spies of the brocade guard, if he is really forced to hurry, I am afraid that we will suffer accidents. ”

Wan Yanwen said angrily: "Could it be that we can't afford to eat dumb in vain, my gold is invincible in sweeping the Liaodi, how can I suffer this great shame!" ”

Wu Lin replied that Zanmo was silent, and only said slowly after a long time: "When I can see the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I have my own plans, before that, you wait for Xu Shen to live in a simple place, and you must not cause trouble, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" ”

……

Shenxiao Palace, Ning Shen Temple.

The sound of jade chimes came from inside the hall.

In the main hall, Zhao Ji, the emperor of Daojun, was dressed in a blue-black robe, sitting cross-legged on the futon in the middle, his eyes were slightly closed, the treasure was majestic, and the jade pestle in his hand was rhythmically beating the jade chime in front of him.

Wang Wenqing and Lin Lingsu sat on both sides of each other, protecting the Dharma.

Lin Lingsu sighed leisurely: "Your Majesty is restless, I'm afraid that my cultivation will be fruitless today." ”

Zhao Ji slowly opened his eyes, threw the jade pestle in his hand, his face became cloudy, and asked in a cold voice: "Since he is the protector of me, why is it a big thing to do badly?" The alliance on the sea, I have been planning for five or six years! Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, but the pain of my Great Song Dynasty for 160 years! Why didn't he understand my mind, why was he so reckless? ”

Lin Lingsu was silent, closed his eyes slightly, but his hands were calculating.

After a long time, Lin Lingsu suddenly opened his eyes, and said with a solemn expression: "Commander Zhao killed the envoy of the Jin people, but it is a good omen, everything should be on the envoy of Zhao, Your Majesty does not need to panic, the alliance between Song and Jin on the sea cannot be broken!" ”

Hearing Lin Lingsu say this, Zhao Ji's eyes lit up again, and he asked urgently, "Good signs?" ”

Lin Lingsu smiled slightly: "Exactly, this is a good omen for turning evil into good fortune, please rest assured that Your Majesty just needs to wait and see what happens, and go with the flow." ”

Zhao Ji has always believed in Lin Lingsu, and when he heard Lin Lingsu say this, he was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will be relieved, and today's matter will be over." ”

The two hurriedly got up and sent Zhao Ji out of the hall.

After Zhao Ji was far away, Lin Lingsu sat back on the futon, looking very haggard.

Wang Wenqing cautiously asked, "Senior brother tried his best to deduce, is it really a good omen?" ”

Lin Lingsu's face was a little pale, and he muttered: "Exploring the heavens in vain, foolish brother is afraid that time is short, and he will be punished by heaven......"

Wang Wenqing looked shocked and asked urgently, "Why is this happening?" ”

Lin Lingsu's expression became more and more painful, and he said with difficulty: "Change your life against the sky...... This son changed his life against the sky......"

……

In the early morning, in front of the Xuande Gate, hundreds of civil and military officials had already gathered.

Since the assassination in the hunting ground, the daily routine has become a five-day day, or even longer. But today's court meeting is extraordinary, not in the vertical arch hall held in the regular dynasty, but in the Zichen hall of the great court meeting.

In the past, the monthly Shuowang court meeting, the congratulatory ceremony at the completion of the suburban temple ceremony and the reception of the Khitan envoys were all held in the Zichen Palace, but now the Liao Kingdom is declining, the Jurchen people are booming, and the Jurchen envoys come to visit, so they naturally have to receive them in the Zichen Palace.

With such a grand event, the officials naturally did not dare to slack off, and Cai Jing, who had always been late, also arrived early.

When Zhao Hao's carriage arrived at Xuande Gate, the hundred officials were originally discussing, and when they saw Zhao Hao's carriage, they seemed to be much quieter.

The Qing faction led by Jin Chongyue, Xu Churen, Wu Min and the brothers of the Chongjia family saw Zhao Hao's arrival, and they greeted him one after another. The other officials, looking at Zhao Hao, looked extremely weird, some showed schadenfreude, and some showed ruthlessness in their eyes......

Zhao Hao killed people in violation of the law, destroyed the alliance between Song and Jin on the sea, and was suspected of disobeying the decree, which caused the official family to be extremely angry, and also seriously offended Wang Hao and others who were originally on Zhao Hao's side.

Although there are a few Qing factions who may come forward for it, but the few people of the Qing faction, compared to Tong Guan and Cai Jing, are tantamount to mantis arms as a car, not to mention that they have touched the reverse scales of the official family, and there are Jurchen envoys who are bound to be entangled to death, in the eyes of everyone, Zhao Hao may be able to keep the official title this time, but most of the positions of the Jinyi Wei commander cannot be kept, and they may even disappear from the court and become a loose official without a job.

Zhao Hao slowly boarded the carriage, still personable, calm, without the slightest panic, as in the past, slowly greeted Jin Chongyue and the others, and gave a salute indifferently.

Jin Chongyue and others have regarded Zhao Hao as their own, and seeing Zhao Hao so calm, they are anxious first.

Jin Chongyue, who has always been calm, asked anxiously: "Gongzi offended Cai Jing's party before, and now he has provoked Tong Guan and others, so these two traitorous parties will join forces to calculate Gongzi, and the official family is also angry, can Gongzi have a way to deal with it?" ”

Zhao Hao smiled slightly: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, you can just deal with it indifferently, don't worry." ”

Xu Churen gritted his teeth and said excitedly: "Son's son is eliminating harm for the people, what's wrong?" Even if we fight to the death, we must protect the position of the son, otherwise...... Otherwise, is there still heavenly reason in this court? ”

Zhao Hao smiled and didn't speak.

Zhao Hao's name was not only a household name in Bianjing, but also soon spread throughout Kaifeng Prefecture, and continued to spread to the Central Plains in all directions, becoming a big hero talked about by the people of the market and scholars.

It's just that the sequelae are also extremely serious.

The Jurchens were silent, not noisy or noisy, and frighteningly calm.

Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng, Li Bangyan and others were already ready to play Zhao Hao's book fiercely, accusing him of disobeying the decree and deliberately sabotaging the maritime alliance.

Cai Jing's side already hated Zhao Hao to the core, so naturally he would not let go of this opportunity to fall into the ground.

As for the official family, the news came that Zhao Ji was so angry that he smashed three pieces of porcelain in a row, knocked down the bookcase in the imperial study, and then drove the Shenxiao Palace, and returned to the palace before dark.

All the signs were extremely unfavorable to Zhao Hao.

For Zhao Hao, although he doesn't regret it, he actually has no bottom in his heart, after all, this matter is very likely to touch Zhao Ji's bottom line.

The rank of the official is all floating clouds, as long as you don't hand over the brocade guard, everything else is easy to say...... This is Zhao Hao's bottom line, if anyone wants to move the Jinyi Guard, which he has so hard to form, Zhao Hao will use his trump card to force Zhao Ji to comply.

Knock knock~

The big bell inside Wende Gate rang leisurely.

The civil and military officials no longer chatted, but rushed to the hall in a swarm.

……

Inside the Zichen Palace.

Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, led hundreds of civil and military officials to receive the Jurchen envoys from Liaodong with great courtesy, and at the same time discussed the final details of the maritime alliance.

Zhao Ji was dressed in a bright yellow crown suit, wearing a twenty-four crown crown, sitting on the dragon chair in the middle, and the civil and military officials on both sides were in strict queues, solemn and solemn.

With a sound of "the envoy of the Jin Kingdom goes to the hall", the music in the hall sounded, and the Jurchen envoy Wu Lin Da Zanmo came side by side with the envoy and Wan Yanwen in his hand, followed by more than a dozen guards, holding the gift to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

The two sides proceeded in an orderly manner according to the etiquette, and finally the ceremony was completed and entered the formal link - to discuss the formal content of the covenant.

According to the historical agreement, the Song and Jin marched to attack Liao, of which the Jin army captured Liaoshangjing and Zhongjing Dadingfu, and the Song army captured Liaoxi Jingdatong Mansion and Nanjing Xijin Mansion. After Song promised to destroy Liao, he transferred the old coins that had been lost to Liao in the alliance of Lanyuan to Jin. Jin promised to return the sixteen states of Yanyun to Song.

However, for Zhao Ji at this moment, he only felt that he was at a loss in his heart, and the bottom line in his heart was the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, as for the year...... Even if it is twice as large as the Liao.

In the past few days, the two sides have negotiated for three or four rounds, but in the end they still did not reach an agreement, but during this period, Zhao Hao not only played Yan Wen, but also killed five of the Jurchen envoys.

When Zhao Ji asked Ulin Zanmu about the content of the alliance agreement, Ulin Zanmu replied very simply.

"The stakes are high, and the small ones are hard to decide...... Our Dajin Kingdom has sent a clan to envoy Song, which shows sincerity...... If His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty really wishes to form an alliance, he can send a clan to Huining Mansion to discuss the covenant with His Majesty the Old Emperor of the Dajin Kingdom, so as to show the sincerity of the Great Song Dynasty, and the old emperor will live up to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the audience was in an uproar, and even Zhao Ji's face changed.

Wu Lin replied that this is Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, and the arrow is pointing directly at Zhao Hao. Although there are more than 1,000 people in the Great Song Dynasty, most of them don't care about political affairs and have always been idle, how to be a messenger? What's more, they are all pampered people, how to take risks lightly and go to the land of Liaodong?

Zhao Hao is the only one who meets this condition...... In other words, even if someone is more suitable than Zhao Hao, Wu Lin will refuse, and Zhao Hao's opponents who are already eager to try will let go of this opportunity.

Sure enough, Cai Mao, the vanguard of Cai Jing's party, had already jumped out: "Weichen thinks that such a heavy responsibility is not necessary for Lord Zhao, who is not the commander of Zhengfeng Doctor, General Zhongwu, White Horse Founding Uncle, and Jinyi Guard, and please ask Your Majesty to learn clearly." ”

Before the words fell, Cai Jingzhi's eldest son, Shao Bao, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and the Zhenhai Navy Jiedu also came out of the crowd: "Weichen also thinks that such a heavy responsibility must be Lord Zhao!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

……

All of a sudden, more than a dozen people jumped out of the court, pointing directly at Zhao Hao, and there was a rare one-sided phenomenon.

The Northern Song Dynasty was so political, how could it not die......

Tong Guan, who was standing in front of the queue of hundreds of officials, looked at Zhao Hao, and wanted to say something, but after all, he wanted to stop talking.

Even the Jurchen envoy Wu Lin replied to Zanmo, and he showed an incredible look.

Hahaha~

In the crowd, a burst of fierce laughter suddenly erupted, and the laughter reverberated above the hall, suppressing everyone's voices stiffly.

When everyone looked up, they saw that it was Jin Chongyue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, whose face was flushed, and his eyes were full of resentment.

Above the court, Liang Shicheng was already furious, and asked sharply: "Jin Shangshu, as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, you should know the etiquette of the court, how dare you make noise in the court?" ”

Where did Jin Chongyue put this eggless eunuch in his eyes, and was about to ridicule him, but he heard a voice sound in the hall again: "Enough!" ”

Although the voice was not loud, it was full of energy, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

I saw Zhao Hao slowly coming out of the queue of third-grade officials, walking to the front of the hall, and saying word by word: "It's a matter of family and country affairs, except for me Zhao Hao, who dares to deserve it?" This time, it is none other than me Zhao Hao! ”

After speaking, he turned around again and said coldly to Wu Lin Da Zanmo: "Lao Tzu wants to see what kind of three-headed and six-armed character he is when he beats the old emperor!" ”
