But who knew that the real eternal injustice was not Yue Fei, but Zhang Bangchang. At least after Yue Fei's death, he still bears the name of a hero, but Zhang Bangchang, even in the 21st century after his death, still bears the eternal infamy of a traitor and traitor. In history, the Jin Kingdom went south and broke Bianliang City, and in the Jingkang Change, Zhang Bangchang sat on the throne, so he became a traitor and traitor in the mouth of everyone. But many literati have forgotten what Zhang Bangchang did after becoming a puppet emperor, he only reviewed documents in the Wende Palace, and the emperor at that time reviewed the articles in the Zichen Palace, which is the so-called imperial study. Since becoming the emperor, Zhang Bangchang has never called himself me, and after succeeding to the throne, he tried his best to protect the people of Bianliang, and also tried to find a way to ask for the princesses and emperors from the people of Jin. What Zhang Bangchang did is not at all the heinous thing written in some people's books, if he is wrong, he is too timid, in the face of the threat of the Jin people, he did not rise up to resist, and became the emperor of the puppet dynasty, but there is nothing wrong with being cowardly, Zhang Bangchang's human weakness is not shameful in most of the people, the weakness of human nature is not shameful, the question is what do you do when you cowardly stand in a certain position.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were many lackey translators, one translator took advantage of his position to protect the villagers as much as possible, and the other was completely reduced to a lackey, how to distinguish between these two types of people? It's a pity that the result is that two types of people are beaten into one category. I don't know who said that the real fearless people are not those who go to death brazenly, but those who endure infamy and spurning for the benefit of the world.

The people, sometimes they are really hateful, they blindly obey, they don't distinguish between right and wrong, and when they are provoked by others, they will go to extremes. How much time. The people buried their benefactors with their own hands. Just like Zhang Bangchang. If it weren't for Zhang Bangchang, the puppet emperor, who tried his best to protect the people of Bianliang, I don't know how much more suffering he would have suffered. But in the end, when Zhang Bangchang was dying, the people of Bianliang did not send memories, but stones. Sometimes the people are cowardly, sometimes cute, hey, Zhang Bangchang, Zhang Bangchang. Will this history be repeated?

"Girl, how is General Niu's arrangement?" Zhao Yougong put down the urgent report in his hand, rubbed his sour temples, Mei Jian obediently rubbed his shoulders for His Royal Highness Zhao, and whispered, "Back to the master, General Niu has already stationed half of the soldiers and horses in Zhengzhou, and General Han and General Yelu have also led the troops to Yingzhou. Block the Jurchens' retreat. ”

"Well, that's fine. This second child Yan has been too arrogant recently, if he doesn't give him some color, he really thinks that I have no one in the Great Song Dynasty" Originally, Zhao Yougong didn't want to send troops to Hebei, but Shishi and Liu Xinyuan couldn't leave, so they forced him to make some changes. I believe that my arrangement can't hide from Wanyan Zongwang's eyes, as long as Wanyan Zongwang is not a fool, he should know what to do.

The Dingguo army began to move, and in just two days, nearly 60,000 troops were gathered from Yunzhong Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion and Henan Mansion, and the three-way army was aimed directly at Hebei. In fact, as soon as the Yellow River was broken, Wanyan Zongwang sent Wanyan Zonghan to the northwest of Baima Ferry, the purpose was to monitor the actions of the Dingguo Army, in case the national army really sent troops to the Yellow River, Wanyan Zonghan could still hold the Baima Ferry and prepare for the retreat of the army. Although the purpose of the Dingguo Army is not clear, Wanyan Zongwang is very uneasy in his heart, with the Dingguo Army as a powerful enemy, staying in Bianliang City for one more day will be more dangerous. I was anxious, but I couldn't let people see it, especially the people in Bianliang City, otherwise when it came to talking, there would be fewer benefits to be obtained.

Wan Yan Gao held a saber in his hand, pestle on the soft ground, his eyebrows were raised, full of worry, "No, the intentions of the Dingguo Army are unknown, let's not delay too much, is it better to contact the other party and do your best to defeat Bianliang City?" ”

"No" Although Wanyan Zongwang was very worried about the current situation, he still vetoed Wanyan Gao's mention very resolutely, the reason why this is so is because he has his own judgment, Zhao sent a three-way army, which looks menacing, but the signs of frontal conflict are not obvious, if he is Zhao Yougong, he will not send troops to clash head-on at this time, so what good is it for himself? Sending troops, I'm afraid the meaning of the threat is more obvious, Zhao is trying to warn him to finish Yan Zongwang, don't mess with Bianliang City. Hey, this sinister and cunning His Royal Highness King Qin is still an amorous species, I can't say it, I want to give someone Zhao some face, and treat Master Li and Chai Keyan well.

Wanyan Zongwang really didn't know about His Royal Highness Zhao and Concubine Liu, he only knew that Zhao Yougong and Chai Keyan were unclear, and they always cuckolded Zhao Huan, and even that son was born to Zhao Yougong and Chai Keyan, as for the matter of Concubine Liu, it can only be said that Zhao Yougong is too deep hidden, and no one has found out yet. Even if he listened to Yuge, he only knew that Yang Lian might be the inner line of the Qin Palace's palace, and he didn't notice it at all about Concubine Liu, the reason why this is so is because His Royal Highness Zhao is good at hiding, and on the other hand, it is also due to the fact that Concubine Liu herself has never revealed a flaw.

Zhang Bangchang sat in the tent with some trepidation, he was so scared that he came to the Jurchen camp alone, facing tens of thousands of tiger and wolf soldiers, if he was not afraid, it would be hell. Zhang Bangchang is not very bold, he even regrets it a little at this time, but since he is here, he must keep the bottom line. was sitting on the cushion and figuring it, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in his ears, and then a person in a beige brocade robe walked in, looking at this person's dignified appearance, dressed no different from the Song royal family, after careful observation, Zhang Bangchang reacted, and quickly got up and gave a salute, "Zhang Bangchang, the scholar of the lower official, has seen the king." ”

I really didn't expect Wanyan Zongwang to come in person, so according to the rules, it should be Zhang Bangchang who went to see Wanyan Zongwang, not to mention, now that the Jurchens are besieging the city, Dajin Kingdom has enough advantages. Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand and sat on the main seat affectionately and comfortably, "Zhang Shilang is a guest from afar, this king has only spoken to Zhang Shilang until now, but it is a little too much, today, this king has prepared a little thin wine, let's drink a few glasses, and this king apologizes to Zhang Shilang." ”

After that, he clapped his hands, and someone really entered the big tent with wine and food. Wanyan Zongwang's expression was very unexpected, Zhang Bangchang's eyes were full of doubts, and the more Wanyan Zongwang was so peaceful, the more worried he was. When things go wrong, there must be demons. See Zhang Bangchang's reaction. Wanyan Zongwang smiled secretly in his heart. This is what he wants, in short, he must not let people see his current state of mind. I was really worried about the Dingguo Army and was in a hurry to rush back to Dading Mansion, but the more this was the case, the more I wanted to make the Song Dynasty feel that Dajin was not in a hurry at all.

Obviously, Wanyan Zongwang's strategy has worked wonders, at least now Zhang Bangchang is already uneasy. The Jurchens are not in a hurry, but he Zhang Bangchang is in a hurry. Wanyan Zongwang personally called for wine and food, he couldn't drink it, he sat on the soft cushion, the wine was in his stomach, he didn't know the taste, and he wanted to mention the matter of peace several times, but all of them were blocked back by Wanyan Zongwang's words. For two whole hours, they were all drinking, and during the banquet, Yan Zongwang asked people to invite a group of dancers to come in. happily enjoyed a song and dance, Zhang Bangchang sat on pins and needles. Sweat was already soaking through his clothes. Zhang Bangchang can't be blamed entirely, he has no experience in negotiation, let alone negotiation skills, and he can't talk about understanding Yan Zongwang, so he can only be led by Yan Zongwang.

In the evening, it finally got to the point, Wan Yan Zongwang hugged the beauty in his arms, relaxed and comfortable, and as for the specific person in charge of negotiation, it was Wan Yan Gao. In the two cases, Zhang Bangchang and Wan Yan Gao sat opposite each other, compared to Wan Yan Zongwang's smile, Wan Yan Gao was a dead face, "Zhang Shilang, you have been in my Dajin State military camp for a few days, I don't know what you think of my Dajin State soldiers?" ”

"The warriors of the Jin Kingdom, all brave and good at fighting, the Dajin Kingdom is even stronger and stronger" Zhang Bangchang hurriedly replied, but the expression on his face was as uncomfortable as eating, I really didn't want to say these words, but after a few days of observation, the Jurchen barbarians are really high morale, and the soldiers are very strong, which is in stark contrast to the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty. In the past, I didn't understand why the Great Song Dynasty had been defeated in many foreign wars, but since I saw the Jin State military camp, I can understand what is going on.

The Jin State military camp is strictly disciplined, and the soldiers are trained hard, but what about the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty? Even there are craftsmen and carpenters, and this kind of miscellaneous soldiers and horses can still win the battle? No wonder the old general scolded raising soldiers like raising insects, and now he is so angry that he has gone to Shandong to train a new army. Looking at Yan Gao's face, Zhang Bangchang felt like he was taking a bite, because this Jurchen barbarian was too arrogant. Wan Yan Gao didn't care what Zhang Bangchang was thinking, he only cared about how much benefit he could win this time, "Well, what Zhang Shilang said is good, my soldiers of Dajin Kingdom are brave and fearless, invincible and invincible, presumably it will only take one day to conquer Bianliang City." ”

I don't know where Zhang Bangchang got the courage, he didn't raise his head, and hummed, "The Jurchen warriors are naturally brave, but how did the lower officials hear that in the first battle of Datong Mansion back then, your army was defeated by my Great Song Dingguo Army, could it be that the lower officials heard it wrong?" ”

One sentence choked Wan Yan Gao, but fortunately, Wan Yan Gao was not an ordinary person, his brows were locked, and he sneered, "What Zhang Shilang said is right, but haven't you heard a word?" A pack of wolves led by sheep is a sheep after all, but a flock led by a male lion can become a pack of bloodthirsty wolves. In the past, it was Wanyan Sheng, but now it is my Khan King Wanyan Zongwang who is in charge of the Dajin Kingdom. As for the Dingguo Army, it seems that the real person in charge is His Royal Highness the King of Qin in Guanzhong, the Great Song Dynasty, hehe. ”

After listening to Yan Gao's sarcastic words, Zhang Bangchang's face was panicked, but he couldn't say anything to refute it. Wan Yan Gao is clearly saying that the court is a bunch of incompetent waste, what about anger, what to refute others? The army of more than 100,000 was first defeated by the Khitans, and then to the Jurchens, this time it was the most ruthless, and it was just a defeat, and it directly led the Jurchen iron hooves to Bianliang City, Tokyo. I don't know if the Great Song Dynasty is really incompetent, at least the Great Song Dynasty is not a lion.

Zhang Bangchang exhaled a long breath, and after trying to calm his mind, he arched his hand and said, "This time the Dajin Kingdom invaded my Great Song Dynasty, which really violated the friendship covenant between our Song and Jin Dynasty, and it was not a good thing for the people of the two countries to break out into war, and I hope the king will consider it deeply." However, the king ordered the army to retreat, and my Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was willing to offer wealth, silk, cattle and sheep to consolidate the friendship between the two countries. ”

Wan Yan Gao pursed his lips, and couldn't help but glance at Zhang Bangchang a few more times, but he didn't expect that the eloquence of this surnamed Zhang was really good, obviously he was going to spend money to buy peace, and he said it so high-soundingly. Naturally, he couldn't easily agree to Zhang Bangchang, but Wan Yan Gao didn't answer clearly, but squinted his eyes and smiled lightly, "Zhang Shilang, I don't know what your identity is, you can really be the master of the Great Song Dynasty, and my Khan King doesn't dare to believe your words." ”

After listening to Yan Gao's words, Zhang Bangchang's face was colorful, not to mention how embarrassing it was. However, what Wan Yan Gao said is very reasonable, can what he Zhang Bangchang say represent the imperial court? Don't say that Yan Gao and Wanyan Zongwang don't believe it, even he doesn't believe it. When I came, the official family didn't say where the bottom line was. Nor did they send a single person of status and prestige to follow. Zhang Bangchang is a smart man. He knew very well that the Jurchens would not negotiate with him alone. I had no choice but to get up and arch my hands and smile bitterly, "My Great Song Majesty naturally has some arrangements, and I sent my subordinates here, just to ask the king what he meant, if he intends to stop this fight." His Majesty will send famous ministers and officials to come. ”

"Hehe, in this case, Zhang Shilang will please go back first, just see if your emperor is sincere, and ask Zhang Shilang to tell the emperor that Ben Khan only gives two days, if this period is over, don't blame Ben Khan for not remembering the old feelings."

After Yan Zongwang said something at the right time, Zhang Bangchang's face was really ugly, and he felt a hot pain on his face. Because Wanyan Zongwang's tone of voice was like treating the Great Song Emperor as his own son. There is a way to humiliate the king and his ministers to death. However, in the current situation, I can only swallow my anger. Waiting for Zhang Bangchang to say goodbye and leave, Wan Yan Gao took a sip of wine, and a little smile appeared on his face, "This Zhang Bangchang is not bad, but he is a little timid." ”

"Uncle is right, Zhang Bangchang is okay, but when he meets Zhao Ji, the father and son" Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand, signaling the woman to withdraw from the big tent, and her expression became solemn, and in the blink of an eye, the color of the waves disappeared.

This pair of Jurchen uncles and nephews will not be mentioned for the time being, let's talk about Zhang Bangchang, he left the camp of the Jin State with apprehension, except for seeing Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Gao, nothing else was found on this trip, and the situation in the Jinguo army was not too clear. Zhang Bangchang felt that he was a failure, and he didn't gain anything at all, will the official family blame him when he goes back? Along the bamboo basket, I returned to Bianliang City again. The palace at night is still brightly lit, and Zhao Huan has a lot of shortcomings, but there is one thing that is much stronger than Zhao Ji, that is, diligence. But there are twists and turns, Zhao Huan must bow down and read them one by one, and Zhao Ji is carte blanche to Cai Jing and Yang Jian. Recently, the people of the Jin Kingdom besieged Bianliang, and the letter asking for help flew into the palace like snowflakes, although the heart was full of anger, but he still read it patiently a little bit, and sometimes he would scold in a suppressed manner, but fortunately, he often reminded him that there was firewood to say, otherwise Zhao Huan really didn't know if he could survive it.

Now at the critical moment, and he has just obtained the throne through Guò Zen, Zhao Huan must maintain a wise image, otherwise the little foundation that he has built up with great difficulty will collapse in an instant. Chai Keyan's reminder lingered in his ears all the time, and Zhao Huan couldn't listen to it if he wanted to.

Knock knock, knock on the door, Yang Lian pushed open the door, didn't step in, stood outside the door and said respectfully, "Official, Zhang Shilang is back." ”

"Well, Xuan" Zhao Huan frowned and replied. Zhao Huan didn't like Yang Lian, but Chai Keyan didn't want to alienate Yang Lian. Yang Lian is the inner servant of Zhao Ji after Yang Jian, if the new emperor can even retain Yang Lian, wouldn't it prove that the official family is open-minded, so that those original Zhao Ji's old ministers will also be a lot less vigilant. The reuse of Yang Lian is for outsiders to see, Chai Keyan has reminded him many times, and he must not show the slightest disgust, but Zhao Huan just can't control himself.

Chai Keyan has what idea, Yang Lian knows it in her heart, and she just needs to change the courtyard and change places to be Infernal Affairs. Zhao Huan was also anxious to know how the peace talks were going, and when Zhang Bangchang entered the Zichen Palace, he hurriedly asked, "Zhang Shilang, what is the reaction of the Jurchen barbarians, how many things do they want?" ”

Zhang Bangchang's face was a little bitter, and he had to reply truthfully, "Back to the official's house, I didn't touch on the substantive content this time, and the Jurchens didn't say how much they wanted, but looking at Yan Zongwang's expression, it didn't seem that he was much interested in peace talks." ”

Standing in the Zichen Palace, Zhang Bangchang explained in detail what happened that he could go to the Jurchen camp again, but the peace talks must have a person with status. No matter who made these requests, Zhao Huan felt that it was still within the acceptable range, just imagine that if he was Wanyan Zongwang, he would also want to talk to someone with status, because then the credibility is strong. As for where the bottom line of the negotiation is, it is actually very easy to grasp, because there is no bottom line in Zhao Huan's heart, as long as he can coax the Jurchens away, it is okay to pay as much as he wants, it is nothing more than how much money he pays. I am not afraid that the Jurchen lion will open his mouth, if the Great Song Dynasty can't pay the price, the Jurchens will mention it in vain, presumably Yan Zongwang will be stupid enough to give this kind of Cheng dù, and give a price code, it must be something that the Great Song can afford.

Now the question is, everything else is easy to say, who should be sent to accompany Zhang Bangchang to the Jurchen military camp again to negotiate? A person with an identity, of course, is the most suitable candidate for the royal family, is it a candidate, Daddy Zhao Ji? After thinking about it, he shook his head directly, Qin King Zhao Yougong? Just kidding, who can command Zhao Ling? These two identities are not the most suitable, and the only ones left seem to be the third brother Zhao Kai and the ninth brother Zhao Gou.

Such a big matter, I can only talk to Chai Keyan, in the harem, Zhao Huan said what he was worried about, but he didn't expect Chai Keyan to answer immediately, "What are you worried about so much?" Just let the third brother go! ”

Chai Keyan replied too easily, Zhao Huan couldn't help grinning bitterly, "County Lord, what you said is too easy, how is the third brother, you don't know, let him accompany Zhang Bangchang, can he agree?" ”

"Zhao Guanjia, can you use your brains well?" Chai Keyan squinted his phoenix eyes, stroked his hair with his slender hand, and did not hide the disdain in his eyes, "Of course he can refuse, but don't you just give him a reason that he can't refuse?" Tomorrow will convene a general meeting, and put this forward in front of everyone, and when the time comes, you will say so, but you have to see if the third brother can refuse. ”

On the second day, the court meeting in the main hall, everyone who should come came, Zhao Huan sat on the Jinluan Palace, his face was full of sadness, "A few days ago, Zhang Shilang went to the camp of the Jin Kingdom, but Wanyan Zong looked at Zhang Shilang's identity and refused to negotiate, today I have a noble person in the clan to accompany Zhang Shilang to go together, I don't know which brother is willing to go on my behalf?" ”

After speaking, Zhao Huan's eyes swept the audience, and finally fell on Zhao Kai, who was the first civil official, and in an instant, everyone's eyes in the hall stopped on Zhao Kai, as if they were going to swallow this handsome mess His Royal Highness King Yun. At this time, Zhao Kai felt like he was sitting in a charcoal basin, his whole body was hot, damn, the boss was going to force him to a dead end. Why are so many people staring at Zhao Kai, the reason is very simple, the real suitable ones in the royal family are King Yun Zhao Kai and King Kang Zhao Gou, King Kang is still young and immature, but His Royal Highness King Yun has been in charge of Kaifeng Mansion for many years, and he also serves as the head of the household department, and his ability to deal with things is not comparable to King Kang. Of course, there is also His Royal Highness King Qin, but the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty, like Zhao Huan, directly and automatically filtered out, let His Royal Highness King Qin go down to be in charge of peace talks? His Royal Highness King Qin is not afraid, the question is who has the courage to give him an order.

Zhao Kai scolded in his heart, he knew that if he retreated this time, he would have to look at the crack of the door for Chinese Wuke in the future, and then he wanted to regain his prestige, it would not be so simple. If you don't want to take the throne, then give up your face, admit that you are incompetent, and let the official family choose another talent, but is you really willing to be an idle king for a lifetime? Soon Zhao Kai made up his mind, he took two steps forward, and said, "Your Majesty, my brother is willing to go, as long as I can benefit the people of the Great Song Dynasty, my brother will die, and I have no regrets." ”

Zhao Kai's words were deeply touching, and many officials secretly gave him a thumbs up. Zhao Huan was naturally very happy, and said some words of encouragement, but the look in his eyes was clearly saying that if you go, don't come back, it's best to die at the hands of the Jurchen barbarians.

As Zhang Bangchang went to the peace talks, Zhao Kai did not have no requests, he asked Li Bangyan to go with him. Zhao Kai is also kind, but Li Bangyan angrily scolded his mother, he is now the Infernal Affairs warrior of the Qin Palace, and he doesn't need to follow Zhao Kai to gain prestige at all, but His Royal Highness the King of Yun and the official family already have orders, dare not obey, do you stand in front of Zhao Kai to expose his identity, in that case, it is estimated that His Royal Highness the King of Qin has not made a move, and Zhao Kai will chop him up first.
