As the time entered October of the first year of Daoxing, on the whole, there was no major event. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
First of all, Zhao Ji's father and son finally turned against each other, but they couldn't hold the fire, as if it was known to the world overnight, although the court successively sent Li Gang, Wu Min and even Bai Shi Zhongren to Nanjing Yingtianfu to persuade the Emperor Taishang to return to the dynasty in vain, not to mention, the Emperor Taishang was better like an iron heart, and actually built a line in Nanjing Yingtianfu, and then let Tong Guan and Gao Yu lead Shengjie and the Praetorian Guard to the north and south respectively, occupying Shanzhou and Maozhou, and directly supporting Zhao Jixing's palace with the treasury assets of the two states and the taxes under the jurisdiction of Yingtianfu, He also sent someone to Kaifeng to issue a clear decree, asking Zhao Huan to personally go to the suburbs under Tianfu City to greet him.
Zhao Huan naturally didn't dare to go, so he sent Zhao Kai, King of Yun, Zhao Shu, King of Su, and Zhao Qi, King of Jing, to Ying Tianfu to say that the three of them were detained by Zhao Ji and did not say anything, and sent someone back to preach that if Zhao Huan could not come to Ying Tianfu to welcome him, he could first go to Huangzhou to welcome back Empress Taishang Zheng, and when it was time for the Tianning Festival, he could come to Ying Tianfu with Empress Taishang Zheng to welcome him back to Tokyo.
Compared with asking Zhao Huan to go to Tianfu City to welcome back, this requirement is undoubtedly a higher level in difficulty, which naturally makes Zhao Huan helpless. Because in comparison, the Emperor Taishang, who refused to return to the dynasty in Ying Tianfu, is still easy to speak, but as for the killer Huang Jie who is lying in Huangzhou, no one dares to provoke him!
Just when Zhao Huan was anxious about this matter, I don't know when it started, among the Goolan Tile House in Tokyo, there were artists who performed the excerpt of "Shangzhu Country Thousands of Miles Riding Alone, Huang Tianba Qinwang Five Consecutive Kills". It is said that there was a general of the Shangzhu State in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, surnamed Huang Tianba, who learned that the capital was besieged by the enemy, and in the case of no right to transfer troops, he rode back to the capital Qinwang for thousands of miles, and beheaded five enemy generals under the city, but because the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was afraid that the Huang Tianba would take away his imperial power after entering the city, he also ordered not to open the city gate, and the last brave and loyal Huang Tianba also died in the city and died in battle, and was martyred.
As soon as this excerpt was launched, it quickly became popular in the streets and alleys of Bianliang City, although the actors will specifically explain that this is the story of the previous dynasty, but the people who listen to the play do not know, who does not know, the invincible general called Huang Tianba, and who is the metaphor.
For a time, public opinion in Tokyo was raging, and all kinds of rumors in the market naturally spread far and wide, and there were even some street tabloids who were not afraid of death, which collected and sorted out all kinds of gossip into a collection, and the general trend was endless.
What's more, even for "Shuowen Jie Zi" (a necessary dictionary reference book for literati in the Song Dynasty), a "new interpretation of Shiwen" (similar to the explanation of new words) was published, and the term "selling sisters for glory" was specially included in it, and even some people imitated Taishi Gong's style and wrote a new historical record, recording the ins and outs of the "Shengping Covenant" in detail.
This kind of writing, after going out on the street, naturally attracted the pursuit of literati, but within a few days, it also spread all over the 15th Road of Gyeonggi, and almost throughout the Great Song Dynasty in ten days.
However, Zhao Huan was really helpless about this situation, in the middle of October, when he heard the street began to sing what "Huang Tianba Qinwang five consecutive kills" drama, he still didn't care, until he learned that the streets and alleys were full of "selling girls for glory" Shiwen Xinjie and the "Shengping Covenant" wild history cheat sheet, he also knew that the general trend was not good.
Busy also found Yin Nie Shan of Kaifeng Mansion, and asked him to come forward to punish the person who passed the copy, who knew that Nie Shan also spread his hands and said: "The people have already spread all over the streets and alleys, how can they block the mouth of the people?" ”
Just when Zhao Huan had nothing to do about this matter, Beizhenxiong and Ba Erzhou's seed master Dao sent back an urgent report, saying that the Jin army after the northern retreat had made another abnormal move, and was increasing troops from Yuguan and Gubeikou to the first line of Tanzhou and Pingzhou, with a total strength of more than 80,000, plus the 50,000 West Route Army of the Jin State entrenched in Datong on the western front, at this time, the total strength of the Jin army on the first line of the entire Xiongxiong and Ba Erzhou has almost exceeded 150,000, and the defenders of the Great Song Dynasty on the northern front are now only 150,000, plus more than ninety percent are infantry, Therefore, it is hoped that the imperial court will try to raise another 3 million military expenses with him, so that another 100,000 soldiers can be recruited as soon as possible to strengthen the defensive line.
After getting this news, Zhao Huan suddenly had a big head: outside the city, the Emperor Taishang gradually became a trend of resistance; In the city, the people in the market criticized the turbulent people's minds; At the border pass, the military situation is urgent, and the situation is in full swing to urge food and food.
Zhao Huan was really helpless, so he had to come to ask the ministers around him, but after discussing it for three days, he couldn't come up with a package solution, and finally listened to Wang Hao's strategy, first got a sum of money and a planter's way, and told him to stick to the defense line against Jin, and it was the most important thing to prevent the Jin people from going south again.
However, at this time, the Jin State sent an envoy to ask when the military expenses promised by the Song court to be paid in installments when the Jin army withdrew its troops, whether this year's New Year's coins had been prepared, and when the three towns were ready to be delivered?
After such a reminder, Zhao Huan Junchen suddenly remembered that he had promised Yan Zongwang a compensation of 15 million yuan, and at that time he only raised the equivalent of 6 million yuan as the first installment payment, and now he still owes people 9 million yuan, and at that time he also promised to pay it in three installments within three years, plus there is also the inheritance of the Jin State, the original Great Song Dynasty gave the Liao State an annual annual coin of 500,000 yuan.
That is to say, now, if you don't want to start another war with the Jin State, you have to immediately prepare 3.5 million yuan to pay protection money.
Even Zhao Huan Junchen remembered that when the Jin army retreated to the north, it had to withdraw from the Song realm in a hurry because it had attracted the Song army to intercept along the way, and did not seriously occupy the three towns in the northwest. After they retreated, the three towns in the northwest recovered and returned to the Song Dynasty under the auspices of the planting master.
Suddenly, Zhao Huan Junchen could no longer care about the gossip in the street tabloids, what kind of drama was played in Golan Washeli, and even Zhao Ji wanted to carry out the restoration in Yingtianfu, so all his thoughts were on this protection fee.
To give or not to give? Or whether to give this protection fee to the breeder Dao to recruit troops, it suddenly became the main focus of controversy.
The peace-seeking faction represented by Zheng Wangzhi, Li Di, Bai Shizhong, Wu Min and others has changed the appearance of the original peace seeker under the city, and they have bent their necks like fighting cocks to argue for what was an expedient measure at that time, and signed an alliance under the city, so naturally they can't do a lot, not only can they not cede the three towns in the northwest, but even the annual coins and indemnities may also be given to the Jin State according to the agreement.
However, Li Gang, Zong Ze, Li Ruoshui, He Li and others, who were originally in the main battle, and even Wang Huang, thought that they must not miss the appointment with the Jin people at this time, after all, the Jin army was strong and vigorous, and the northwest defense line was now reconstructed under the integration of the Seed Division, but it was not advantageous in terms of strength and combat power, and it was extremely unwise to start a war with the Jin army at this time.
Even Wang Hao suggested that the compensation may be owed first, and it is better to take out a sum of New Year's coins first, and then talk about delaying this winter.
However, at this time, Chen Dong, a student of Tai, offered Zhao Huan another good plan.
