After the end of the Hedong War, Li Yanqing has been busy pacifying the people in Hedong, and at the same time liquidating the officials of various prefectures and counties who surrendered to the Jin soldiers, but not all the officials in Hedong have to be liquidated, and they must also distinguish the specific situation.

Mainly according to public opinion, this is the most authentic and reliable basis, for example, whether the local officials actively cooperate, regardless of the people's life and death to forcibly requisition food and manpower, such officials will definitely be held accountable, if they have escaped, they will be wanted in various places, and the officials who have not escaped will first be removed from their official posts, and then interrogated, and imprisoned in the prison camp are considered lucky, if the crime is extremely heinous, then they will be publicly beheaded and all their family property confiscated.

In just half a month, Li Yanqing ordered 13 county officials and prefecture officials to be publicly beheaded, and 34 county governors and county lieutenants were dismissed, and the missing officials were transferred from the army to civilian officials to fill their posts, such as Yan Jiuling as the prefect of Longchang, Zhang Qu as the governor of Jinzhou, Tang Kai as the governor of Fen Prefecture, and dozens of soldiers and priests as magistrates or county lieutenants.

According to the tacit agreement reached by Li Yanqing's imperial court, the Hedong defense envoy and the Taiyuan prefect were appointed by the imperial court, the chief and deputy governors of each state capital were recommended by Li Yanqing, and the list was appointed by the Ministry of Officials after submitting it to the Son of Heaven for approval, while the prefect and county lieutenant level were directly appointed by Li Yanqing and reported to the Ministry of Officials for the record.

In mid-April, the new Taiyuan prefect Zhang Shuye and Hedong defense envoy Zhang Jun took office and took over the temporary prefect and defense envoy posts of Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing handed over the 50,000 troops recruited by Taiyuan Prefecture to Zhang Shuye and Zhang Jun, and he himself led 30,000 Jingzhao troops back to Jingzhaofu.

On the morning of this day, Li Yanqing led an army of 30,000 to evacuate Taiyuan City and return to Jingzhao, and more than 200,000 Taiyuan people poured out of the city and sent Li Yanqing and his army 20 miles away.

Uncle Zhang looked at the reluctant people in the distance and sighed: "My brother has put too much pressure on me, I really don't know what to do to make the people of Taiyuan accept me?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly: "Ming Gong is too humble, with Ming Gong's character and ability, he will definitely be competent, I believe that the people of Taiyuan will soon forget me." ”

After a pause, Li Yanqing said again: "But I have three suggestions for Ming Gong, which can be regarded as my experience." ”

Uncle Zhang said solemnly: "Li Jingluo, please speak!" ”

"The first is not to believe in the Jin people, even if Song and Jin reach any agreement in the future, Ming Gong must always be vigilant, Taiyuan is very important to the Jin State, if there is a chance to recapture Taiyuan, the Jin State will not hesitate to tear up the agreement."

Uncle Zhang nodded, "I also know that Jin Ren has no faith, thank you for the advice, I remember." ”

Li Yanqing smiled and said: "The second suggestion is to guard Jingcheng, the three hundred super-large sky-shaking thunders I left to Ming Gong, at least two hundred should be placed in Jingcheng, Jingcheng is the only passage for Jin soldiers to enter the northern part of Hedong Road, as long as Jingcheng is guarded, Taiyuan City will be safe and sound." ”

Although Zhang Shuye is the prefect of Taiyuan, he also serves as the governor of Taiyuan, and is actually in charge of the military and political power of Taiyuan Mansion, while Zhang Jun's Hedong Defense Envoy's scope of authority does not include Taiyuan Mansion, he is mainly responsible for guarding the southern states of Hedong Road.

Zhang Shuye nodded silently, and Li Yanqing said again: "The third suggestion is to rely on the people of Taiyuan, it is not the army that really resists the strongest will of the Jin soldiers, but the people of Taiyuan Mansion, if you rely on them and mobilize them, then Taiyuan Mansion will definitely defend like an iron bucket, so that the Jin soldiers are invulnerable." ”

"I have taken Li Jinglue's golden words to heart, and if Taiyuan is in danger, I hope that Li Jingliu can send troops to rescue in time."

Li Yanqing nodded, "If there is a day, I will definitely come to the rescue as soon as possible!" ”

At this time, there was a shout from the distance to see off the people, Li Yanqing urged him to step forward, beckoning to hundreds of thousands of people, more than a dozen white-haired old men trembled forward, knelt in front of Li Yanqing, raised a clay pot full of soil high, and shouted loudly: "This is the land that Li Jingliu is guarding, please Li Jingliu don't forget him, when it suffers another disaster, Li Jingliu must come to save it!" ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly turned over and dismounted, took the clay pot and handed it to the soldiers, and then helped the old men and said: "Please tell the old folks in Taiyuan that I, Li Yanqing, also have the same blood in my body, and their pain is as painful as mine, and I will never let the old folks in Taiyuan suffer the ravages of the Jin soldiers." ”

"Li Jingluo take care!"

"Take care, fathers!"

Li Yanqing turned over his horse, waved his hand to hundreds of thousands of people, turned his horse and galloped westward, and in the shouts of taking care on the side, Li Yanqing's figure gradually disappeared into the distance with the 30,000 army.

.........

In August of the second year of Jianyan, after three rounds of arduous negotiations, the Song and Jin countries reached a five-year armistice agreement, from the beginning of May to April 29 five years later, the Song and Jin sides no longer engaged in war, and the two sides maintained their current control territory, the Song Dynasty did not recognize the current occupation of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty by the Jin State, and the Jin State had no intention of returning the occupied land to the Jin State, but out of the sincerity of the armistice, the Jin State promised not to garrison troops in Haizhou, Pizhou, Suzhou, Bozhou and Yingzhou.

In addition, the Song Dynasty returned all the captured Jin prisoners of war to the Jin State, and the Jin State would also return the Emperor Taishang and the first emperor Zhao Huan and a number of princes and ministers, and the Song Dynasty would deliver the Liao State to the Jin State, and the Jin State agreed to repatriate all the Song Dynasty people who had been captured to Liaodong and Shangjing to their hometowns as Song civilians under the rule of the Jin State.

The war finally stopped, the Song Dynasty quickly entered the stage of recuperation, and the Jin State also freed up its hands to begin to conquer the Mobei tribes, the contradiction of insufficient population and troops began to appear, and the Jin State had to withdraw troops from the Central Plains to the north, so that the control of the Central Plains was also weakened.

In order to solve the problem of control over the Central Plains, Wanyan Xianye, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongbi jointly wrote a letter, suggesting that the Song people should govern the Song Dynasty, and the Jin Emperor Wanyan Sheng accepted the suggestion of the three, and sealed the former Jinan prefect Liu Yu as the king of Qi, built the Qi palace in Bianliang, and governed Shandong and the Central Plains, and named Gaoqing as the king of Ji, and built the Ji Wangfu in Hejian Mansion, governing the two roads of Hebei, and Wanyan Xian also still sat in Yanshan Mansion and controlled all parts of the Central Plains.

In September of the second year of Jianyan, Emperor Zhao Ji and Emperor Zhao Huan and a group of princes arrived in Jiangning Mansion, and Zhao Gou sent Fan Zhixu, Lu Yihao, Gao Shen, Zheng Wangzhi, Zhu Shengfei, Fan Zongyin and other six ministers to Jiangning Mansion to welcome the return of the two saints to the south.

It wasn't until the moment they set foot in Jiangning Mansion that Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan finally put their hearts at ease, they finally came back, the father and son couldn't help but hug their heads and cry, Cao Sheng, who had just served as the prefect of Jiangning, was busy and settled the group in Jiangning Palace.

In the palace study, Emperor Zhao Ji met with Fan Zhixu and Lv Yihao, in the era of Zhao Ji as the emperor, Fan Zhixu once served as the prime minister, but later the Fan Party case was reported, Fan Zhixu was demoted to Bashu, and Lv Yihao is also an old minister in the Zhezong era, the two have deep qualifications, and Zhao Ji also recognized the two of them as the left and right ministers.

But Zhao Ji also has three major dissatisfactions in his heart, one is dissatisfied that none of the favored ministers he trusted in the past have been reserved, the second is that his son Zhao Gou did not come to Jiangning Mansion to greet him in person, and the third is that Li Yanqing was named the king of Jin.

Li Yanqing was crowned the king of Anyang County, he admitted that it was the will of his father Emperor Shenzong, after all, Li Yanqing was the first Song general to invade Yanshan Mansion, and the seed master refused to accept the county king, and it was well deserved to be replaced by Li Yanqing, but the king of Jin belonged to the prince, and non-direct royal family could not be canonized.

Li Yanqing married the emperor, at most he can only be regarded as a relative, how can he be qualified to be canonized as a prince with a different surname, even if he makes great contributions, he will not be able to break the rules left by his ancestors and ancestors.

In fact, Zhao Ji's criticism of Li Yanqing's canonization of the prince is just an excuse, the real reason for Li Yanqing's dissatisfaction is that Qin Hui secretly told him in Yanshan Mansion, Li Yanqing did not support welcoming him back to the Song Dynasty, obviously Li Yanqing was resolutely on his son's side, which made Zhao Ji very annoyed in his heart.

However, the unfortunate experience of the past few years has also made Zhao Ji's city government deeper, and the three major dissatisfaction in his heart did not show it at all, he smiled and said to Fan Zhixu and the others: "I know very well what the emperor is worried about, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and similarly, the country cannot have two monarchs in a day, both of them are my sons, I have the responsibility to solve this matter as the emperor, Qin Hui has told me about the emperor's concerns before, so I decided to make a formal decree in Jiangning Mansion to recognize the official family as the monarch of the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time change the title of Heng'er as the king of the north, A simple abdication ceremony will be held tomorrow at the Jiangning Mansion Palace, and the six prime ministers will be invited to testify. ”

Fan Zhixu and Lu Yihao glanced at each other, the two of them were overjoyed, the official family sent the six of them here to solve this matter, since the Emperor Taishang is in charge, then this matter is successfully resolved, but the first emperor did not accompany the Emperor Taishang to meet them, presumably he still has a mustard in his heart, Fan Zhixu asked cautiously: "What about the opinion of the first emperor?" ”

Zhao Ji waved his hand and said coldly: "His brother's willingness to take him back to China is already a brotherhood, why is he still dissatisfied?" His opinion doesn't matter, it's up to me to decide! ”
